Arahal – San Antonio de Padua Chapel

San Antonio de Padua Chapel

The San Antonio de Padua Chapel is located in the town of  Arahal, Sevilla province.

Its origin dates from the last third of the 18th century.

It consists of a single nave with five articulated sections with grooved pilasters attached to it and covered by hemispherical domes. The original 18th century altarpiece was replaced by a modern one that contains the central image of St. Anthony of Papua, to replace the one destroyed in 1936.

Several traditional images and canvases have been preserved.

It should be noted that, within its municipal area, the Morón de la Frontera Air Base is located, which takes its name from the neighboring nucleus, due to its greater proximity to the main access to it.
