The church of Sant’Antonio Abate in Priverno is of Gothic-Cistercian style.
It is among the most original of Priverno: it is a National Monument for the integrity of the original characteristics.
According to an inscription carved in a stone gateway, the church dates back to 1336 and was part of a hospital run by the Antonian monks.
The door was signed by Toballo de Ianni, a local master.
The hospital had been created to accommodate the pilgrims, especially those of Jubilees of the church.
The entrance to the church is located under a large archway with an overlying building that connects the monastery and the hospital to the dedicated worship area.
The church has preserved intact the old pulpit, the altar and the statue of St. Anthony made by local craftsmen.
Inside there are frescoes of the fifteenth century by Pietro Coleberti that reproduces a cycle dedicated to the "Virgin in Glory" and "Sacraments"
