A view of the facade of the Cathedral of Santa Ana, Santa Ana, El Salvador, Central America The Cathedral of Our Lady Saint Anne in Spanish Catedral de la Señora Santa Ana is a neo-Gothic cathedral located in Santa Ana, El Salvador. The place where today is the Cathedral of Santa Ana was the central parish, which was built between 1575 and 1576, being destroyed by lightning in the 19th century. When the Diocese of Santa Ana was created preparations were made to rebuild the central parish of the city; this reconstruction was authorized in 1904 and began on January 21 of 1906. It was consecrated on February 11 of 1913. The construction, however, continued in the decades that followed until they were finally completed on February 24 of 1959, when the marble altar of the image of Saint Anne was consecrated and finished. On April 22 of 1995 was declared a National Monument. To this day this church is still open to the public.
