Chapel of St Anthony of Padua, Fort Manoel, Catholic chapel in Fort Manoel, Gżira, Malta
The Chapel of St Anthony of Padua features a rectangular plan with a central dome, four side altars, and a classical Baroque façade within Fort Manoel.
The chapel, completed in 1727 under Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena, sustained severe damage during World War II when aerial bombardment destroyed two-thirds of its structure.
Two religious confraternities dedicated to St Anthony and St Anne held their gatherings at this chapel during the 18th century before merging into one organization.
The chapel underwent complete restoration in 2009 as part of Fort Manoel's rehabilitation project, making it accessible for visitors exploring the fortification complex.
The crypt beneath the chapel contains the remains of Charles François de Mondion, the French architect who designed both the chapel and Fort Manoel.
