Santa Ana in the Misiones district of Argentina





North of Posada on the way to Iquazu Falls, we stopped at two old Jesuit missions. The first was Santa Ana, which has been excavated, but not restored. The above is a view across what was the plaza.




The people lived in long rows of houses organized around the plaza. Here are the foundation stones of one.




To the right of the church was the cemetery. This is a grave without a door.




Here is a closeup of it´s contents. Reminds me a little bit of the Easter Gospel.






The creation wants this place back.








This is the final shot of Santa Ana, the church. Reminds me of some congregations I know in Texas.
