Parròquia de Sant Antoni Abat

Parròquia de Sant Antoni Abat

As a result of the founding of sa Pobla d'Uialfàs by King James II in 1300, a small chapel was built. Starting in 1697, the construction of the current temple began, thanks to the rector Tomàs Serra. The original chapel had become too small and dilapidated.

By 1710, the roofs were completed, and the main structure was finished. The interior was gradually completed during the 18th century. Externally, the building is notable for its simplicity and sobriety.

The main portal is a lintel with a rose window above it. The ensemble is topped by a flat cornice. On the right side was the old cemetery called es Sagrat.

The square bell tower with four sections is the oldest part of the building, as it was built between 1595 and 1665. The interior consists of a single nave with 7 sections covered by ribbed vaults, a choir at the foot, and a polygonal apse. Above the side chapels, we see a gallery with arches and a balustrade.

The main altarpiece, dedicated to Saint Anthony of Viana, was built in 1868. The chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary is located in the fourth section.
