Things to do in San Antonio, Texas (TX): The Best Monuments & Statues
Step to the beat of wafting flamenco music as you wander the downtown River Walk before sampling as much chili (San Antonio’s signature dish) as your taste buds will allow. A visit to the Alamo is an absolute must, as is taking in a show at the ornate Majestic Theatre. San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is dotted with 18th-century buildings and features, making for an enriching excursion.

It's next to the Alamo and easily spotted, it's quite large. It described the battle of the Alamo and those who fought in it. Well worth seeing for anyone seeing the Alamo.

Bronze monument honoring the veterans of the Vietnam War.

This memorial is located in the same small park as the Korean War Memorial, and of all the memorials I have visited in my life is probably the most moving and profound. Over 60,000 men and women lost their lives fighting in this war, and their names, ranks, serial numbers, branches, and dates of service are all contained in an air tight container inside the memorial. The detail on the statute is amazing- from the details on the fallen soldier’s face, the medic’s, and their clothing etc is so awesome! If you are in the area, I highly recommend you visit!

My wife and I recently visited San Antonio for the second time.We stayed in the downtown area right next to the Alamo and a few minute walk to the fantastic "Riverwalk".... The Torch of Friendship is at the circle by the Alamo Plaza and is an easy reference point to find where you are. The Monument is striking in size and a bright red color.... It is definitely worth a stop to photograph when in San Antonio near the Alamo.
