Santa Ana Hill
Santa Ana Hill is a tourist attraction located in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
==History==
The horizon line facing, when viewed from the Guayas River, is punctuated by two hills on its right margin. The Santa Ana and El Carmen Hills are unequivocal icons of visual reference to locate any of the principal sectors of the city. For it was here, on the Santa Ana Hill and its surroundings that the first definite settlement of its citizens began in 1547. Seeking security on the “little Green Hill”, as it was originally called, was a logical decision, since it afforded complete visibility and ample possibilities for defense. Additionally, the firm ground, compared to the plains below, allowed for more solid and reliable structures that would adhere to the hill like climbing ivy. It was here that the first Main Church and Town hall were built, the traffic of its populace slowly trickling downward to the surrounding areas. The San Carlos and La Planchada fortifications were emplaced directed toward the River in order to face one of the most fearsome enemies of the city, pirates. The glories of pirates battles gradually gave way to commercial triumphs.
