Igreja de Santo Antônio (São Paulo)

The Church of Saint Anthony (Portuguese: Igreja de Santo Antônio) is a Catholic temple located in Patriarca Square, in the center of the Brazilian city of São Paulo.In 1970, the building was listed as a landmark site by Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage (Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico - Condephaat).The oldest reference to the temple appears in Afonso Sardinha's will, dated November 1592, which bequeaths the sum of two cruzados for the "ermida de Santo Antonio" (English: chapel of Saint Anthony).The work was financed by Francisco Xavier Pais de Barros, the Baron of Tatuí, and the Count of Prates, who both lived near the church before the Viaduto do Chá was built.[4][2] Although the interventions made over the centuries have de-characterized the artistic and architectural integrity of the church, the Church of Saint Anthony was registered as a landmark site by the Council for the Defense of the Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage of the State of São Paulo (Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico - Condephaat) in 1970 due to its historical importance.
