St Anthony Church




St Anthony Church is one of the renowned churches, in Siolim of Goa. Built in the Corinthian style, the church is painted in slight yellowish color and is noted for its architectural brilliance. It has two steeples.

Founded by Franciscans in 1568, St Anthony Church houses a beautiful statue of St Anthony, on the church frontispiece, with a serpent dangling on a rope in his right hand.

A major draw is the feast of St Anthony, which is celebrated with traditional pomp and fervor.
