Església de Sant Antoni de Pàdua

The church known as Església de Sant Antoni de Pàdua is located in the square called Plaça del Convent. Initially, it was a convent, but it was destroyed in November 1708 during shelling. Later, it was rebuilt as a church using the ruins of the previous structure. Currently, after the destruction that took place during the Spanish Civil War, only a part of the cloister that surrounded the courtyard remains, built with rough stone and rubble, as well as the exterior facade covered with ashlar stones.

The remains of the cloister show the facades of the two levels that composed it, where the ground floor stands out with its four elegant pointed arches framed by Tuscan order pilasters, as well as the entablature with a frieze, corbels and a prominent cornice, above which rectangular windows appear separated by pilasters. The ground floor had a ribbed vault.

On the exterior, what is striking is its colonial profile, completed with a powerful square tower topped by another domed tower. The entrance is of Doric order with a niche that contains a modern statue of Sant Antoni de Pàdua. What should be highlighted on the inside, presiding over the main altar, is a large enamelled cross that shows scenes from the Bible.
