The St. Ann Cathedral,[1] (Template:Lang-pt)[2] also called Uruguaiana Cathedral, is a Catholic temple that originated as the parish of Santana, created by provincial law 58 of May 29, 1846, together with the city of Uruguaiana,[3] in Brazil being built between the years 1861 and 1874.
In 1906, the parish was partially destroyed by a major fire, but was restored in the following years.
With the creation of the Diocese of Uruguaiana, on August 15, 1910, by the bull Praedecessorum Nostrorum, by Pope Pius X, this parish became the Sant'ana Cathedral.
Later, in 1926 it was demolished, since there was already a project for the construction of a bigger building, that was in work, and that in 1959 was finished. It took 33 years to complete.
