Our second building maze of the year takes us to San Antonio and the famous Alamo Mission. I had made a maze of the Alamo before and decided I wanted to upgrade and see if I could improve on the previous version, I think I did. Why am I fetauring this maze, this week ? Well, The Battle fo the Alamo was fought between February 23 – March 6, 1836.

Some information about The Alamo Mission

Famous for the 13 day siege that was part of the Texas Revolution. Despite losing the battle, Texas defeated the Mexican army a little of a month later to form the Republic of Texas. A nice place to plan a visit if you are in the area. Take a tour and learn more in the video below.

Before we get to the mazes let’s take a look at a photo of The Alamo Mission from JOSE GIL from Pexels

Now about the WAS. I like this maze a lot but I decided to take the time colorize it a bit to see if it would improve the maze…
