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.

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 😍

In the city of Granada, which is not lacking in attractions, one particularly stands out: the Alhambra, the Moorish palace that seems like a fairytale from "1001 Nights" set in stone. The highly recommended TV series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" portrays UNESCO World Heritage sites (in German) in short films (each 15 minutes long). The Alhambra is available in the ARD media library at the following link =>> https://www.zdf.de/swr/schaetze-der-welt/page-video-ard-alhambra-spanien-100.html

The Plaza Nueva is one of the oldest squares in Granada, despite its name suggesting it is new. It is located in the heart of the city, between the modern shopping malls and the charming Carrera del Darro. The square has a rich history and is surrounded by historic buildings such as the Real Chancillería (now the Highest Courts of Andalusia) and the Casa de los Pisa. The square is also home to the beautiful Pilar del Toro, a 16th-century Renaissance column with a fountain that pours water from the head of a bull.

This place is located on Calle Carrera del Darro, one of the most beautiful walking passages in Granada. This street is located on the left bank of the Darro River. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to cycle here, as a police officer warned us. Here you can see the majestic Alhambra on the slope of the Sabika, surrounded by vegetation.

There are several points here: a water crossing point, a new bicycle bridge and a bicycle tunnel under the Rio Genil.
