Stories Bigger Than Texas: The Alamo Podcast
Episode 39: The Mission Gate & Lunette

A gateway to history: the Alamo's latest outdoor exhibit, the Mission Gate & Lunette, represents the main gate of the historic mission-fort.

Today we reveal the history behind the interpretation, the artistic technique used by local artisans to give us a window into the past, and how the exhibit gives us a newfound appreciation for the size and scale of the Alamo site. Featuring the Alamo's Director of Interpretation Tom Castanos and artisans Carlos Cortes, Adan Cortes, and Cordero Cortes from San Antonio-based Studio Cortes.
