Sant'Antonio Abate

The Sant'Antonio Abate church features elegant vaults and interior decorations, including paintings by artists from the Parma school throughout its halls.

The structure underwent major reconstruction in the eighteenth century under architect Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena, funded by Cardinal Sanvitale and Pope Clement XIII.

The church contains several chapels adorned with works by Italian masters, including paintings by Pompeo Batoni, Giovanni Gottardi, and Giambettino Cignaroli.

Located in central Parma, the church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours that highlight its architectural and artistic elements.

The church ceiling consists of two separate layers, with the upper section revealing additional painted decorations visible through architectural openings.
