The parish church of Sant Antoni de Portmany stands at the top of the main square in the centre of town, an imposing whitewashed Gothic structure that has presided over San Antonio since the early 14th century. Unlike the tourist-facing parts of the town, the church square retains some sense of the older settlement — a few elderly residents sit in the shade of the trees, and the market on the square operates with a pace that ignores the resort below.
The church interior is plain — thick stone walls, simple vaulted nave — but the architecture tells you something about the constant insecurity of coastal life in the medieval western Mediterranean. Worth a quick visit to see a San Antonio that existed long before the first package tourist arrived.
