one of the symbols of the Triana disctrict. It is commonly
known as “the lighter”. It was designed
by the Sevillian architect Anibal González and
it was made of brick and ceramic, in the historicist

Parish Church of Santa Ana
This parish church was the first church built after
the Reconquering of Seville in 1248. It was built by
King Alfonso the 10th “the Wise”. He dedicated
the church to Saint Ana, because he thought that the
mother of the Virgin Mary had healed his eyes. The church
dates from the 13th century and it is in the gothic-mudéjar
style. It was restored after the Lisbon earthquake in
1755. |
