CHAPEL OF SANTA ANNA<\/h5>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left”][vc_column_text]In the 13th<\/sup> Century, the Tur\u00f3 de Santa Anna hill was known as the Puig de Llagostera, probably named after the Llagostera farmhouse that was located somewhere on the hill. The first documented reference to a chapel on the hill dates back to 1624, but the Baroque building that stands there today was built in 1789. The chapel as we know it has a single nave and an adjoining vestry, built in 1862.
\nBreda has historically worshipped Saint Anna, after whom the hill and chapel are named. On 26th<\/sup> July each year, on the Saint\u2019s feast day, a celebration is held on the hill, with religious services in the chapel, traditional Sardana<\/em> dancing and coca<\/em> cakes on sale. On the night of 10th<\/sup> to 11th<\/sup> September, there is a procession to the chapel with an act to mark the National Day of Catalonia (known as La Diada<\/em>), which culminates with the Catalan flag (la Senyera<\/em>) being raised next to the chapel.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”60″ down=”0″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”40″ padding_bottom=”0″ anchor=”portfolio” background_color=”#ededed” z_index=””][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
