Alamo Cenotaph

Directly in front of the Alamo stands the Alamo Cenotaph, a monument to the men who lost their lives in the battle. The marble monument, designed by Italian-born and Texas-adopted sculptor Pompeo Coppini was erected in 1939 by the Texas Centennial Commission and includes all the names of the Alamo defenders.

Vehicles are no longer permitted directly in this area, a gesture of respect for the Native Americans buried in a cemetery found in front of the chapel.

Location: Alamo Plaza, directly in front of the Alamo
