The Cathedral of Santa Ana in Las Palmas is credited to Diego Montaude, with Juan de Palacio succeeding him, and Diego Nicolás Eduardo did the 18th-century work. Bishop Diego de Muros started the church. In the 18th century a bishop funded reconstruction from a tithe surplus, overseen by Dean Gerónimo Roos. Work began in 1500, and the first offices were held in 1570.
The article describes a pointed Gothic nave with double aisles and palm-tree piers, with columns combining Corinthian and Gothic features. The infobox also lists Moorish and Romanesque, though the text mentions only Romanesque campaniles and a semi-Moorish cloister. It names no structural materials. The cathedral is about 197 feet (60 m) long and 144 feet (44 m) wide, with a 36 foot (11 m) nave.
The western facade was never finished. It was declared a national monument in 1974. The article gives no hours or admission fees.
