The Santa Iglesia Catedral-Basílica de Canarias or Catedral-Basílica de Santa Ana is a cathedral, Holy See of the Diocese of the Canary Islands of the Catholic Church, which is located in the historic center of the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Vegueta neighborhood, next to Plaza Mayor de Santa Ana. Every November 26th takes place the celebration of the dedication of this cathedral. It is considered the most important monument of Canarian religious architecture

This was the first church built in all the Canary Islands. It was raised by order of the Catholic Monarchs after the conquest of the island of Gran Canaria. Its construction began in the 16th century, but it was not finished until almost 4 centuries later, so several different architects and artists contributed, leaving as a result up to three different architectural styles: Gothic, Renaissance and Neoclassical.
