Saint Anthony Church, Neoclassical church in Americana, Brazil.
The Saint Anthony Church stands as Brazil's largest neoclassical Catholic temple, measuring 80 meters long, 30 meters wide, and 22 meters high.
Construction of the church began in 1950 under Monsignor Nazareno Magi's guidance, replacing an earlier chapel built by Italian immigrants in 1896.
Italian brothers Pietro and Ulderico Gentili created the interior murals between 1950 and 1972, with Pietro passing away while working on the paintings.
The church received the status of Minor Basilica in 2014, making it the main religious center in the Diocese of Limeira.
The central dome spans 50 meters in circumference and features twelve sculptured images crafted by Ulderico Gentili.
