Basílica San Antonio de Padua

The basilica features multiple domes, Romanesque architectural elements, and an ornate high altar decorated with religious artworks and detailed craftsmanship throughout the interior.

The construction process extended from 1889 through several interruptions, including economic crises and deaths of benefactors, until its final consecration in 1928.

The basilica holds regular masses, religious ceremonies, and special events throughout the liturgical calendar, serving as a central point for Catholic worship in Villa Devoto.

Located at Avenida Lincoln 3751 in Buenos Aires, the basilica provides guided tours and offers opportunities for both individual prayer and group celebrations.

The current dome dates from 1993, replacing the original structure that was destroyed in a fire in 1991, marking a significant architectural renovation in the building's history.
