Iglesia de la Señora Santa Ana, Gothic church in Triana district, Seville, Spain.
The Iglesia de la Señora Santa Ana is a Gothic church with three naves supported by brick columns and stone ribs creating vaulted ceilings. Its rectangular floor plan shows a clear medieval structure with separate spaces leading toward the altar.
Construction started in 1276 under King Alfonso X's orders, making it the first Christian church built in Seville after Muslim rule ended. This beginning marked a turning point in the city's religious and architectural identity after the reconquest.
The main altarpiece displays 17 panels showing scenes from Mary's life, created by renowned artists of the time. Visitors can see the detailed brushwork and colors in these older paintings when looking closely at the artwork.
The church is located on Vazquez de Leca Street in the Triana district and welcomes visitors for religious services and exploration. Those interested in seeing the interior should check opening times beforehand, as access can vary depending on services.
The tower displays Mudejar-style multifoil arches and a pyramidal spire covered with glazed ceramic tiles added in the 17th century. This blend of Gothic and Islamic stylistic elements gives the building a distinctive appearance that catches the eye.
