Åna-Sira[2] is a village in southwestern Norway, sitting mostly in Sokndal Municipality in Rogaland county, but a small portion lies across the river in Flekkefjord Municipality in Agder county. The village is located at the mouth of the river Sira where it flows south into the Åna fjord (hence the name of the village). The fjord and river form the border between Rogaland and Agder counties. The Åna-Sira Bridge crosses the river connecting the two parts of the village. The village is the southernmost village in Rogaland county.[3]
About 200 people live in Åna-Sira (in 2017), about three-fourths of the residents live on the north side of the river in Sokndal Municipality, and the rest live on the south side of the river. Åna-Sira Church is located on the Sokndal side of the village.[3] There is a shrimp factory in the village as well as the Åna-Sira Power Station.
