The entrance of the church was adorned with a beautiful mosaic depicting scenes from the life of St. Anthony, the patron saint of the church. This mosaic, vibrant and full of life, served as an inviting threshold into the spiritual and historical journey that awaited inside.

The interior, much like the exterior, was simple yet elegant. The nave was spacious, with high ceilings that seemed to lift the spirit upward. Natural light streamed in through the stained glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the stone floor. Each window told a story.

PT - Português

O interior, assim como o exterior, era simples, mas elegante. A nave era espaçosa, com tetos altos que pareciam elevar o espírito. A luz natural entrava pelos vitrais, lançando padrões coloridos no chão de pedra. Cada janela contava uma história.

One of the most striking features of the church was the altar. It was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, intricately designed with a combination of marble and wood.

The church was completely empty, save for myself and the faint echo of my footsteps. This solitude allowed me to fully appreciate the space. In the absence of the usual hustle and bustle.

PT - Português

A igreja estava completamente vazia, exceto por mim e pelo leve eco dos meus passos. Essa solidão me permitiu apreciar plenamente o espaço. Na ausência da agitação habitual.

As I explored further, I came across several points of interest that piqued my curiosity. One such feature was the baptismal font, located near the entrance. Made of polished stone, it was an elegant piece, symbolizing the beginning of one’s spiritual journey.

PT - Português

À medida que explorava mais, deparei-me com vários pontos de interesse que despertaram a minha curiosidade. Uma dessas características era a pia batismal, localizada próximo à entrada. Feita em pedra polida, era uma peça elegante, simbolizando o início da jornada espiritual.
