The Alamo was built as a chapel after 1744, it is all that remains of the mission of San Antonio de Valero, which was founded in 1718 by Franciscans and later converted into a fortress.

The original structure was the second of two buildings that served as a Spanish church and mission (Mission San Antonio de Valero) from 1758 to 1793.
The Alamo was originally created as a mission by the Spanish in an attempt to convert the Native Americans to Christianity.
