Chiesa di Sant'Antonio, Catholic church in Altamura, Italy

Chiesa di Sant'Antonio is a Catholic church in Altamura with stone walls, a central nave, and multiple side chapels dedicated to different saints and religious figures. The interior follows the traditional layout of a parish church with a clearly defined floor plan.

The church was originally dedicated to the Immaculate Conception before becoming associated with Saint Anthony of Padua. The tomb of Mélanie Calvat, a figure of religious significance, is located within its walls.

The church was originally dedicated to the Immaculate Conception and was renamed after Saint Anthony. Since 1918 it has housed the body of Mélanie Calvat, the visionary of La Salette, exhumed from Altamura's cemetery by Father Annibale Maria di Francia. The church is attached to the Antonian orphanage and the convent of the Daughters of Divine Zeal.

Entry is through the main entrance on the western facade, with regular visiting hours from morning until evening except during mass times. Visitors should note that access may be limited when services are taking place.

The church was originally named Immacolata and was renamed after Saint Anthony once Mélanie Calvat's body was moved here. On 19 December 1918 Father Annibale Maria di Francia personally carried out the exhumation from Altamura's cemetery to this church, where the body still lies today.
