Their sacrifice led to the founding of Texas, they are the heroes of 'The Lone Star State'. Never surrender nor retreat. Alamo Cenotaph entitled 'The Spirit of Sacrifice' is a tower of 60 feet built to pay tribute to these heroes who died during The Battle of Alamo. Standing adjacent to Long Barrack of The Alamo Complex, it was designed by an Italian-born sculptor Pompeo Coppini and completed in 1939.
