Poli. Church of Sant'Antonio Abate

Poli. Church of Sant'Antonio Abate

Just outside the original city walls of Poli and in a lowered position is the small church of Sant'Antonio.

It is a rectangular building of the fourteenth century later expanded in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

It has a gable roof and a steep entrance staircase.

The simple stone façade is enriched by a small rose window.

A mullioned window is placed in a non-symmetrical way compared to the entrance door.

The church ends on one side with a bell gable with two bells.

The interior is frescoed on the wall of the apse, in the three chapels on the left and, partly also on the other walls.
