The church Antoni is easily recognized by the beautiful façade decorated with blue tiles, the work of Jorge Colaço and João Baptista Ribeiro. They depict scenes from the life of St. Anthony and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the interior, however, it is worth paying attention to the altar from the 17th century.
The temple was built at the end of the 17th century on the site of an earlier church that stood there for several hundred years. The building was designed by the world-famous architect, Joaquim Jaime B. Ferreir-Alves. During the siege of Porto in 1832-1835, the church was used as a hospital and also used to store military equipment.
The temple is dedicated to Saint Anthony, the patron of lost things. Although the saint was born in Lisbon at the end of the 12th century, he is mainly associated with Padua in Italy, where he worked as a preacher and missionary.
