Capilla del Cerro Santa Ana, Catholic chapel at Cerro Santa Ana, Guayaquil, Ecuador
The Santa Ana Hill Chapel stands at the summit, accessible via the 444-step Diego Noboa staircase, next to the Guayaquil Lighthouse and Naval Museum.
The chapel opened in September 2002 during the Virgin of Mercy festivities, replacing the site of the first major church of Guayaquil from colonial times.
The interior features nineteen stained glass windows created by Ecuadorian artists, depicting religious scenes and maritime traditions of Guayaquil.
Visitors can reach the chapel by climbing the stairs through Las Peñas neighborhood, which contains numerous art galleries, restaurants, and craft shops.
The chapel incorporates chanul wood in its construction, an indigenous material selected for its natural resistance to humidity and pest infestations.
