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. Its Mudéjar tower was erected between 1561 and 1563 by Juan Castellar, characterized by its framed openings and alfiz decoration.

The Church of San Gil and Santa Ana is a small church with a Mudéjar style, located in Plaza Nueva, where the Carrera del Darro begins, marking the start of our route through the Albaicín and Sacromonte districts. It was built according to a design by Diego de Siloé during the second third of the 16th century (1537-1548) on the site formerly occupied by the Almanzora mosque, founded by King Badis. This mosque stood at the foot of the Alhambra, between the right bank of the Darro River and the Almanzora neighborhood, which were connected by a stone bridge. Once the church was built, this bridge was renamed the Santa Ana Bridge. It is in the Mudéjar style.

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.

I did this route in the summer and there were a lot of mosquitoes.

Here, people dance in the square on Saturday evenings 🤩. The older students really dressed up. They played everything that works as a couple's dance. There was a slow waltz, a rumba... if you don't want to dance yourself, you can just watch the others. A fantastic experience and a fantastic atmosphere 😍

Fresh water on your way is a luxury, especially when the heat is on.
