    The Church of San Gil and Santa Ana, popularly known as the Church of Santa Ana, is a 16th-century Mudéjar monument located in one of Granada's most charming corners: Plaza Nueva, right at the beginning of the Carrera del Darro and at the foot of the Alhambra.

    Built in 1537 by order of the parish of the same name, on the site of a former main mosque (Almanzora).

    The project is the work of the renowned architect Diego de Siloé, a central figure of the Renaissance in Granada.

    The Church of San Gil and Santa Ana is a prime example of Granada's Mudéjar architecture. It stands on the site of a former mosque. Its Renaissance façade, adorned with grotesques and Corinthian columns, was designed by Sebastián de Alcántara, a prominent artist in the city. The tower, decorated with tiles and glazed roof tiles, is the finest example of Mudéjar architecture in the city. Only the old minaret remains of the former mosque. The Granadan heroine Mariana Pineda celebrated her wedding in this church.
