Parish Church of Saint Antony, Colonial church in Paracatu, Brazil.

The Parish Church of Saint Antony in Paracatu has no bell towers, the only parish church in Minas Gerais with that condition. Its facade shows a stronger influence of Goiás church-building style than of the rest of the old Minas Gerais captaincy, according to IPHAN. The interior holds seven altarpieces arranged on different levels.

Construction of this religious building began in 1730 using traditional taipa techniques during the gold exploration period in Minas Gerais. The building method reflects the work practices that were widespread in this mining-focused region at that time.

The church displays Baroque altarpieces in its transept with features of the Joanine style that differ from other religious artworks in the region. Visitors can observe these crafted details in the side aisles today.

The church is easily accessible on foot as it sits in the town, and the interior is arranged through existing paths and doorways. The building received national protection status in 1962, making it an important place to visit locally.

The church has no bell towers, and IPHAN records it as the only parish church (matriz) in Minas Gerais in that condition. Its facade is judged closer to the Goiás manner of church building than to the rest of the old Minas Gerais captaincy.
