Located in one of the most beautiful villages in the Axarquía, Frigiliana, the Church of San Antonio de Padua has a simple yet elegant structure that makes it stand out in the middle of the city. A relevant element of the exterior architecture is the bell tower, consisting of three floors and covered with clay tiles, on which the clock stands on a small protrusion. We come across a Renaissance style church whose coffered ceiling, restored a few years ago, makes the complex a very welcoming place.

A small but very fine, beautifully decorated church in the middle of the village.
Really worth a visit!
