It dates back to the distribution of the city that Alfonso X carried out in 1263. The ancient gothic-mudejar church was completely deteriorated, therefore they decided to demolish it and build a new one between 1787 and 1855. The result was the first neoclassical building in Andaluc\u00eda. The tower is built over an ancient arab tower, and has its origins in the 15<sup>th<\/sup> century. As a result of the damages caused by lightning in 1892, it was partially demolished, and it only preserves the body of the old mudejar tower, which serves as a belfry. The bell that was struck by lightning is preserved in the cloister of the <em>Santa Mar\u00eda <\/em>church.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<strong>Address: <\/strong>Espa\u00f1a Square, 19, 41400, \u00c9cija (Seville).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;26122&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=&#8221;20&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1618398184694{margin-top: 50px !important;background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"light\">SANTA ANA CHURCH<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]There was a chapel devoted to <em>Santa Ana<\/em> next to the <em>Puerta del Puente <\/em>.

They were protected by the council and several noble families that exercised patronage upon them in exchange for being buried in the convent. In the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century the convent underwent a profound remodeling. During the Independence war, the convent was exclaustered due to the 1809 decree by Jos\u00e9 I Bonaparte. As soon as the conflict ended up, the monks wanted to recover it but it was exclaustered again in 1836, during the Mendiz\u00e1bal disentailment. In 1897, it was granted to the <em>Salesianos <\/em> fathers, who inhabited it until the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. The two chapels, <em>Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Soledad <\/em>and <em>El Santo Sepulcro, <\/em>are especially remarkable.
