SANTA ANA. La población de León comenzó el s. XII con 1.500 habitantes y al finalizar el mismo siglo, ya superaba los 3.000. Ubicada en el Camino de Santiago, se destacó por la presencia de diversos hospitales, como el de San Marcelo y San Isidoro en sus respectivas colegiatas, así como el de San Lázaro en la parroquia de la Santísima Trinidad, actualmente conocida como Santa Ana. Además, los monasterios de la ciudad ofrecían muchas hospederías para peregrinos, llegando a haber hasta ocho diferentes en esa época. Ubicada en el antiguo barrio judío, es posible que en sus inicios haya sido una sinagoga. De hecho, una de las primeras menciones sobre el barrio de Santa Ana indica que después de la destrucción del barrio judío de Puente Castro, muchos residentes se mudaron al centro de la ciudad y se establecieron principalmente cerca del mercado de Santa Ana. El origen de la iglesia cristiana se remonta al siglo XII y pertenecía a la Orden del Santo Sepulcro, que tiene sus orígenes en Godofredo de Bouillón, principal líder de la Primera Cruzada, aunque en el siglo XVI pasó a la Orden de Malta, o Caballeros Hospitalarios. Junto a ella había un hospital de leprosos (lazareto) y un cementerio de peregrinos, ambos ya desaparecidos.

Esta bien,aunque por fuera podría estar más arreglada y limpia.

Un iglesia pequeña, acogedora, te transporta al catolicismo de hace 30 años por su música y formas. Muy agradable.
