It includes a representation of the fort’s main gate and a U-shaped dirt-and-timber fortification known as the lunette that was built by Mexican soldiers in 1835 and reinforced by Texian troops during the Texas Revolution., built next to the gate when the site became a Spanish military post in the early 1800s.
