Nuestra Señora de Santa Ana, Jesuit mission ruins in Misiones Province, Argentina.
The stone structures of Nuestra Señora de Santa Ana span across an area featuring preserved walls, foundations, and architectural elements from colonial times.
Founded in 1633, this Jesuit reduction served as a settlement for indigenous Guarani people until the expulsion of Jesuits from Spanish territories in 1767.
The mission complex incorporated both European architectural principles and Guarani craftsmanship, creating structures that reflected the merging of two civilizations.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a 20-kilometer drive from Candelaria, with guided tours available during daylight hours throughout the year.
The ruins form part of a UNESCO World Heritage network that includes four Jesuit missions in Argentina, preserving centuries of colonial religious history.
