The Museum of Fine Arts in Granada is the most important art gallery in that city, a city whose fame lies more in its monumental heritage than in the pictorial one. This explains the relative forgetfulness in which this institution has remained until recently.

It was built in 1537, as the seat of the parish of the same name, according to Diego de Siloé's project, the most renowned artist of the time in his area, on the expanded plot with the purchase of farms around the urban space where previously there was the Aljama Almanzora mosque. It basically consists of a single nave to which side chapels, main chapel and sacristy are attached. The tower, built between 1561 and 1563 by Juan Castellar, is, like the rest of the temple, brick, very slender, with four sections of holes centered on its main face, organized from least to greatest in their order of height, all with subtle decorative elements like alfiz that frame them superiorly.
The church has five chapels on each side of the nave covered with Mudejar coffered ceilings and a main chapel covered by loop armor. Inwardly it has incalculable artistic elements of value, with very interesting sculptural groups in the chapels, whose images include a Dolorosa by José de Mora made in 1671 or a Calvary by Diego de Aranda. Also notable are the paintings that are preserved in its walls, a work of the 16th and 17th centuries. In the sacristy a chalice is preserved, the work of Francisco Téllez from 1568 and an expired Crucified associated with the artistic work of Juan de Mena.
Another of the great architectural values ​​of this church is on its main doorway to the square, traced by Sebastián de Alcántara in 1542 and later completed by his son Juan de Alcántara in 1547, running the image by sculptor Diego de Aranda
Located in its center behind a wide tier and made in Renaissance style, this cover is formed by a high semicircular arch flanked between Corinthian columns of striated spindle and on a basement, which support a ledge on which three niches are located with images, and on them a medallion or tondo with the image of the Virgin and the Child; The shields of the archbishop Fernando Niño de Guevara appear on the arches of the arch and under the strong cornice.
As anecdotal data within the history of this church, it should be said that Mariana Pineda (19th century) married, the popular heroine executed under the reign of Ferdinand VII, also preserving the remains of the Granada-born historian Francisco Bermúdez de Pedraza (16th century) , author of the Ecclesiastical History of Granada, by local sculptor and painter José Risueño (1665-1732), successor to the artistic line of Alonso Cano and the Renaissance poet and humanist Juan Latino.
This church of Santa Ana de Granada, where Mudejar and the Renaissance live together, is considered a Site of Cultural Interest, and its qualification as a monument was published by "La Gaceta de Madrid" in 1931. In 1842 the parish of Santa was suppressed Ana and her parishioner incorporated into the parish of San Gil. When it was demolished in 1869 the church of Santa Ana became the seat of the parish of San Gil. Since 1948 the parish is named of St. Gil and St. Anne by a repository of the Holy See dated April 9 of the same year.
As a curiosity, on the North facade (in front of the Darro river embankment), a typical kick cross of the Order of the Footwear Trinitarians is still preserved.
