The parish church of Sant Antoni Abat is a baroque and neoclassical style temple. The original temple dates back to the 14th century, and in the 17th century it was agreed to build a new church, starting with a new bell tower, separate from the original building.The works were delayed by the War of Succession, and were not finished until 1879. It would undergo even more modifications, due to the damage suffered during the civil war. Finally, in 1977 the façade facing Plaza de les Neus was modified.
