Located in the Mueggen district, the Church of Sant'Antonio was constructed between 1775 and 1795 and is dedicated to Saint Anthony the Abbot, celebrated on January 17th. This church exemplifies the classic rural Pantellerian ecclesiastical architecture: a single nave built with local lava stone masonry, featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The structure comprises continuous load-bearing walls, squared at the corners and irregular elsewhere. The vault's exterior is waterproofed with a mixture of volcanic lapilli (locally known as tuffu) and lime, laid over compacted earth and compressed using wooden mallets. Inside, the floor is adorned with glazed terracotta tiles. At the far end, above the altar, within a niche, stands a statue of the saint. An archway from the apse leads to a small side sacristy
