Chapel of Saint Anne

Moratalla

The Ermita de Santa Ana was built around 1614, following the foundation of its brotherhood in 1607. Later, between 1760 and 1796, the presbyter D. Joaquín Conejero directed and co-financed a major rebuilding that provided the temple with key elements such as the tower and the facade.

After being looted during the Civil War and losing its decoration, the hermitage was repaired. However, the constant humidity of the enclosure and the passage of time caused severe structural deterioration, forcing it to close for worship in 1988.

In 1994, a profound restoration began to consolidate it and adapt it to the Second Vatican Council. During the works, it was discovered that the humidity came from an underground spring, over which the new Tabernacle was placed, renewing the interior with murals and an Altar based on Hebrew numerology.
