Iglesia de Santa Ana, Fuerte San Telmo - Valletta, Malta - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"La Iglesia de Santa Ana (en maltés: Knisja ta' Sant'Anna) es una antigua iglesia católica ubicada en Fort Saint Elmo en La Valeta, Malta. Fue construido en la década de 1720 y fue desconsagrado mientras el fuerte estaba controlado por el ejército británico. El edificio ha sido restaurado y ahora se conoce como el Edificio Memorial.

Fue construida en 1722 o 1729 por la Orden de San Juan dentro del Fuerte de San Telmo. Una capilla anterior con la misma dedicación ha existido cerca desde al menos el siglo XV. Los restos de los caballeros hospitalarios que murieron defendiendo el fuerte durante el Gran Asedio de Malta en 1565 están enterrados dentro de la capilla.

Cuando Malta estaba bajo el dominio británico, la iglesia fue desconsagrada y se hicieron importantes modificaciones en su interior."
