Joomla Error Message File Directory

I was trying to learn how to create a joomla template. I successfully override some modules and components on my template however I can't override the error message especially on form validation.

I would like to know where the files are located and is it possible to override? My purpose is to add some bootsrap classes and add more tags on it.

The actual generated system message is in /layouts/joomla/system/message.php

<div id="system-message-container">
  <?php if (is_array($msgList) && !empty($msgList)) : ?>
  <div id="system-message">
    <?php foreach ($msgList as $type => $msgs) : ?>
    <div class="alert alert-<?php echo $type; ?>">
      <?php // This requires JS so we should add it trough JS. Progressive enhancement and stuff. ?>
      <a class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</a>

      <?php if (!empty($msgs)) : ?>
      <h4 class="alert-heading">
        <?php echo JText::_($type); ?>
      </h4>
      <div>
        <?php foreach ($msgs as $msg) : ?>
        <div class="alert-message">
          <?php echo $msg; ?>
        </div>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
      </div>
      <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </div>
  <?php endif; ?>
</div>

You can fix template CSS at /template/(your_template)/css/template.css Or you can make new CSS with /template/(your_template)/css/my.css and include it in the /template/(your_template)/index.php:

$doc->addStyleSheetVersion($this->baseurl . '/templates/' . $this->template . '/css/my.css');

If you need to temporary override CSS class from your CSS you can use " !important" about the overrided attribe in the CSS file.
