Parish Church of Saint Antony, Colonial church in Tiradentes, Brazil

The Parish Church of Saint Antony stands at the center of Tiradentes with a wide facade featuring stone balustrades and twin bell towers.

Construction of the current building began in 1710, becoming the first parish church of Rio das Mortes region and receiving major renovations between 1807 and 1810.

The interior displays different expressions of Brazilian Baroque art, including altars, gilded carvings, and decorative elements created by master craftsmen.

Visitors can attend organ concerts on Fridays and observe the functioning 18th-century Portuguese organ inside the church.

The church features a stone sundial from 1785 on its exterior, which local artisans reproduce in soapstone as souvenirs.
