Real Parroquia de Señora Santa Ana

About

Real Parroquia de Señora Santa Ana, often called the “Cathedral of Triana,” is one of Seville’s most beloved historic churches. Founded in the late 13th century under the reign of Alfonso X, it stands as the oldest parish in the city, blending Gothic structure with Mudejar and Renaissance additions that reveal its long evolution. Its sturdy brick façade, rose window, and elegant tower give the church a distinctive presence along the Guadalquivir’s Triana side. Inside, visitors find richly decorated chapels, a revered image of Santa Ana teaching the Virgin Mary, and artworks that reflect centuries of devotion in this traditionally seafaring neighbourhood. The church remains a focal point of local identity, deeply tied to Triana’s religious festivals and community life. Stepping into Santa Ana offers a glimpse into Seville’s spiritual roots, where history, craftsmanship, and living tradition come together in a warm, intimate setting.
