    in this city we have city council who seems not well educated in history and do not have respect to a culture, the Cenotaph for him become an eyesore and he want to please to certain political groups of San Antonio. They going to spent millions of dollars to move the Cenotaph away from the place where it perfectly located and that place was carefully chosen by talented artists and sculptors. These money better to spent for preserving historical buildings and monuments.

    While visiting the Alamo, the you can’t miss seeing this beautiful memorial located near the front of the Alamo. (Cenotaph means an empty tomb). It commemorates the men and women who chose to defend the Alamo rather than surrender. It was designed by Italian sculptor Pompeii Coppini. Begun in 1937, it two years to complete.

    The Alamo Cenotaph Monument is a can’t miss as it sits in the middle of the Alamo Plaza and is the tallest thing there. This monument shows respect to those who sacrificed their lives in the battle of the Alamo between Texas and Mexico.

    When in San Antonio, you must visit this historic sight. We arrived late in the day on a chilly February afternoon. Parking was an issue. It's very expensive to park in a lot nearby, so we found metered street parking a little ways away. It is an interesting historic place with lots to see and lots of tourists to contend with.

    I was wrong about it being limestone but that aside, MAN what a great thing to first see before entering the Alamo. It is BIG, like, you'll need to take four individual pictures just to get the whole darn thin in view, ridiculously well kept and since its outside easy to walk around at your leisure. There is not much to it other than that, it's a wonderful monument to those who fell and honestly should be the first or second thing you check out BEFORE even entering the Alamo! Edit: Added the four pictures I was talking about!

    Location or ground zero for handicap access to the Riverwalk or Alamo. The Visitor Center is here across from the Alamo. You can buy tickets to the Alamo at this location. A public bathroom is directly to the left of the Alamo at this monument. They are clean and handicap accessible to.

    Beautiful monument dedicated to those who fought and died at the Alamo. Excellent seats for both, the Battle of Flowers and Fiesta Night Parades.

    Beautiful Coppini Masterpiece. One of the best sculpture groupings in the country. Top shelf

  • 5/5 Salman Bin H. 2 years ago on Google
    The monument is symbolic and has a lot of the Alamo history ingrained to it. It is a white sculpture with bits and pieces of historical drawings and quotes in memory of the people that fought the war. It is a great sight to take photos and remember of the great history of this place!
