was originally built by the Spanish, and was used by both the Spanish and Mexican governments as a prison. Among its more illustrious occupants were the Texans captured during the ill-fated Santa Fe Expedition of 1843. During the Mexican American War and the U.S. occupation, 1847-1848, it was used as a military hospital. Consequently, the area surrounding the moat is littered with the forgotten graves of hundreds, perhaps thousands of U.S. soldiers.
