Características

El acceso al poblado estaba flanqueado por dos capillas simétricas, una de las cuales se conserva en buen estado; de la otra quedan vestigios de cimientos. Al igual que en otros casos, el trazado del pueblo está ordenado alrededor de la plaza.

En su lado sur se alza el conjunto de la iglesia, sacristía, casa de los padres, escuela, cementerio, huerta, el coty-guazú y otras dependencias comunitarias. Pero la particularidad de su emplazamiento, en el que se destacan grandes cambios de nivel, impuso criterios propios al proyecto urbano, cuyo elemento más llamativo es la imponente sobreelevación del conjunto principal, con gran escalinata de acceso, de monumentalidad poco común.

Las tiras de vivienda de los indios son diferentes a las de otras reducciones. Se destacan los restos de obras utilitarias, como canalizaciones pluviales y los andenes de cultivo del huerto. En 1984, Santa Ana fue incluida en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO
