I think those fences directly in front of the facade detract from getting a good photograph.

What is the grass area in front of the Alamo The grassy plot in front of the church is supposed to be the Campo Santo. Back in the Nineties, after some Indian group protested that people were walking on it, it was chained off. The church itself has been chained off to prevent vandalism.

Do you have more pics? where was crockett and the rest of him men buried? Love to get a DVD on the alamo After the Alamo battle, the remains were gathered and then burned in three funeral pyres outside the walls. In 1837, Juan Seguin returned to the funeral pyre on what is now Commerce street and gathered the remains there, bringing them to the San Fernando church where he says he buried them beneath the altar rail. In the mid-1930's excavations of the San Fernando produced some remains and these were put into a sepulchere. The remains and plaque can be seen in the vestibule of the building today. Other remains were unearthed during an excavation on Commerce Street and then reburied by the Walker/Gillespie monument in the Oddfellows cemetery about a half mile east of the Alamo. An historical marker marked the spot.
