Basilica of St. Anthony, Catholic basilica in Santos, Brazil
The Basilica of St. Anthony features neo-Gothic architecture with tall spires, intricate stonework details, and large stained glass windows throughout its structure.
Construction of the present basilica started in 1930 and completed in 1945, replacing a small chapel built by Baron de Embaré in 1874.
The basilica maintains regular religious ceremonies and houses numerous artworks depicting the life and miracles of Saint Anthony through paintings and sculptures.
The basilica opens daily for masses and visits, with extended hours during weekends and religious celebrations throughout the Catholic calendar year.
Pope Pius XII designated this church as a minor basilica in 1952, making it one of the few buildings in Santos to receive this papal recognition.
