The church of St. Anthony of Padua, characterized by a simple architectural layout, was built in the late 1600s. The first certain historical information dates back only to the second half of the 18th century, when, in some documents of the time, we read that Monsignor Pilo, having noticed that the church of St. Barbara was distant because of a large number of houses, set out to build a new church, as a branch of the larger one. However, having examined the small church of St. Anthony, which was strategic because of its location, he chose it for the administration of worship: on December 30, 1769, the Eucharist and Holy Oils were brought to the Church of St. Anthony. After that date, major completion and remodeling work began, such as the construction of the barrel vault and the sacristy; work that continued through the following centuries until the middle of the last century.
