Church of Saint Anne, Gothic church in Centro district, Granada, Spain.
Iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana is a Gothic church built with a single nave and lateral chapels, featuring an ornate Plateresque doorway at its entrance. The interior is marked by carefully carved wooden coffered ceilings that cover the entire space.
Construction began in 1501 on the site where the Aljama Almanzora mosque once stood, following Christian rule taking hold in Granada. The location marks a turning point in how the city's sacred spaces were reshaped.
The building reflects the blend of Islamic and Christian artistic traditions that shaped Granada during the 1500s. You can see this fusion in the decorative details and the way the interior is arranged.
The church is open only during specific hours, mainly in the evening, and visiting times vary between weekdays and Sundays. It's best to check the current schedule before planning your visit.
The church sits directly next to the Royal Chancellery building on Plaza Nueva, where medieval and Renaissance architecture come together. This pairing reveals how the city was remade during that era.

Granada unfolds like layers of history written on stone and stucco. Nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, the city carries eight centuries of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian presence in its streets, buildings, and gardens.
