About
Santa Ana:
Santa Ana was given its
name by the bishop Brother Bernardino Villalpando. Before, its name
was Cihuatehuacán: "Ciudad de Sacerdotisas" (City of Priestesses) is divided into cities: Santa Ana (departmento capital), Coatepeque
and Texistepeque, and villa El Congo. Santa Ana is a city that has
open streets and a lavish National theater. Sharp green hills surround
the city, with the cones of Cerro Verde and Izalco and Santa Ana
volcano further to the south. It is still a coffee town, surrounded by
many plantations where workers till the rich volcanic soil. Santa Ana
has retained more of its colonial heritage than most cities this size,
and it is therefore more pleasant than the country's choking capital.
Wide, clean streets pass between old buildings in surprising good
condition, most are under two stories high and painted in pastel
colors. Many fine examples of Spanish colonial architecture can be
found in the city: Santa Ana's Cathedral, Santa Ana's City Hall, Santa
Ana's Theatre.
