The Chapel of Santa Ana is located in the Historic Center of Moura, perfectly integrated into the oldest urban fabric of the Alentejo town.
Its presence contributes to the historical and serene atmosphere that characterizes this area, being a discreet point of reference when walking through the streets of Moura's original core.
Little is known for certain about the exact origin of this chapel, but its construction is estimated to date back to the 18th century. It is a building of simple architecture, typical of the small hermitages and chapels found in the historic towns of Alentejo.
A characteristic that may draw attention is the particular shape of its floor plan, which is circular. On the exterior, it features a small bell tower, and inside, a simple altar stands out.
The Chapel of Santa Ana holds special significance for the community of Moura and the municipality, maintaining a strong connection with its devotees over time.
It is particularly known for being the center of the traditional Festivities of Santa Ana, a religious and popular event that takes place annually, usually at the end of July, gathering the population in celebration.
