What people say
Pedro Pereira

"This church stands above the place where Saint Anthony was born, before he went around the world as a preacher, ending up dying in Padua. The current temple was built in 1767, on the site where a chapel had stood since the 15th century. It offers as noteworthy elements the image of the patron saint, spared by the earthquake, the crypt in his birthplace and the screen representing Saint Anthony with the most authentic features that have been preserved. It was visited by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1982."
