Iglesia de San Gil y Santa Ana

Located opposite the Royal Chancellery of Granada, the Church of San Gil and Santa Ana was built according to a project by Diego de Siloé in the second third of the 16th century (1537-1548), on the site where the Aljama Almanzora mosque had been built, founded by King Badis.

This mosque was at the foot of the Alhambra, between the right bank of the Darro River and the Almanzora neighbourhood, which were connected by a stone bridge that was named Santa Ana bridge after the church was built. It was built in the Mudejar style, with a single nave and side chapels. It has an interesting Plateresque doorway and interior coffering.
