Continuing along Via Sant’Antonio, just beyond the old prisons, stands the charming little church of Sant’Antonio da Padova, built in the typical style of rural churches: a single nave, a bell gable, and a side sacristy.

Its origins date back to between the late 15th and the first half of the 17th century, when a group of monks settled in Aritzo and founded their monastery here, now lost.

The façade is simple and plastered, featuring a large pointed arch (now walled in) that occupies the entire front. Above the entrance portal is a wide rectangular window, surmounted by a small bell gable in trachyte.

Inside, the atmosphere is intimate: the wooden roof is supported by pillars and pointed stone arches, while the plastered white walls are unadorned. The spacious presbytery, raised by three steps and covered with a ribbed cross vault, preserves a fine Baroque wooden altar dating from 1734–1736. Along the nave are two 17th-century wooden niches.

Every year in June, the church comes alive with devotion and songs during the traditional “Thirteen Days of Saint Anthony,” culminating in the feast on June 13. Particularly moving are the goccios, ancient religious hymns in Sardinian composed in the 17th century.
