The church of Sant'Anna, together with the adjoining conservatory of the same name, is a Baroque building in the historic center of Lecce, built in 1680 and commissioned by Teresa Paladini at the will of her husband Bernardino Verardi.
It has a simple, linear, classical architectural structure and repeats the same compositional design as the Duomo's main façade, suggesting its attribution to the same author, Giuseppe Zimbalo.

Saint ANNA is the mother of the Blessed Mother Mary, who is not attested in the biblical texts, i.e. the grandmother of Jesus Christ. However, it is mentioned in apocryphal (i.e. not included in the canon of the Bible) writings, for example in the so-called “Protoevangelium of James”. There is no historically reliable information about Anna's life, but there are numerous traditional stories, which are summarized, for example, in the medieval "Legenda Aurea" by the Dominican monk Jacobus de Voragine. Among other things, she is the patron of the Annakirche in Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia, DE), where a piece of her skull is kept as a relic.
In the church calendar, Saint Anna's memorial day - together with her husband Joachim - is on July 26th.
