On July 2, the Alamo reopened the Paseo del Alamo, the historic site’s connection to the famed San Antonio River Walk. The two sites are linked not just through tourism but through history, with Mission San Antonio de Valero (now known as the Alamo) built along the San Antonio River.
The restored Paseo features native landscaping, shaded walkways, and fully ADA-compliant paths with an elevator to increase accessibility between street level and river level.

When guests step from the Paseo onto Alamo Plaza, they’ll see the updated Southwest Corner and 18-Pounder Cannon Exhibit marking the spot where a cannon was believed to have been fired during the 1836 Siege in response to Santa Anna’s advancing forces. The exhibit will also honor defenders like Toribio Losoya who was born at the Alamo, lived on the grounds near where the exhibit now stands, and died defending the Alamo.
