It is annexed to the former monastery of the Capuchine friars[1] and it belongs to the (FEC).[2]
The Church was built between 1630 and 1634, and the ex friary between 1633 and 1636. Both of them were constructed because of the necessity of the Capuchine friars (who lived in a monastery annexed to a Church inside the cemetery of Cappuccini until 1566[3] needed to get near the town.In 1866 the Capuchine friary was abolished.
The parish of Sant'Anna, called by people from Alcamo "Li Scappuccini"[4] was created in 1947.
The Church is with a single nave, has a baptistry and seven chapels, embellished by frescoes made by Leonardo Mirabile and Giovanni Dato, while the frescoes on the nave and the vault were realized by Eugenio Ligotti and Salvatore Gagliano from Palermo.
