The Alamo was not destroyed. It still exists today. In 1836, the Alamo's Texan defenders were killed to the last man, but the building was spared from destruction. Mexican field cannons were unable to breach the walls, and Santa Anna refused to wait for his siege cannon to arrive, so he ordered a costly but successful scaling attack over the North Wall of the Alamo. Today, the Alamo is very much intact.

Was the Alamo ever moved?
Yes, it was moved twice. At the first location it was flooded and moved. A hurricane destroyed it at the second location, after that it was moved to it's current location.Edited to say:I've received complaints this explanation is biased. I'm guessing this is semantic argument -- an argument over words. I assume it refers to my failing to explain the Alamo was the Mission San Antonio de Valero. It began to be referred to as the Alamo sometime after it was moved to it's current location, so it could be said the mission has not been moved since it began being called the Alamo.
