The Church of Santo António is a building located in the parish of Santa Maria Maior (Sé), in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It is allegedly located on the site of the house where Santo António was born, next to the old Porta do Mar, which existed in the access wall to the interior of medieval Lisbon, and is considered to be his sanctuary. Next door, there is a small museum dedicated to him.

Tradition dictates that young people who intend to get married, on their wedding day, visit the church, pray and leave flowers for Saint Anthony, who is the intercessor of the newlyweds. On the way down to the crypt, there is a panel of modern tiles that celebrates the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1982.
Architecture
Inside, the crypt with entrance through the sacristy is all that remains of the original church, which was destroyed by the 1755 earthquake. The new church, a late-baroque and Pombaline building with sinuous lines marked in the design of the pediment and staircase, was started in 1767, under the direction of Mateus Vicente de Oliveira, architect of the Estrela Basilica.

The entire work was partially paid for by the children, who asked for "a little penny for Saint Anthony", and, as you can see today, the floor of the chapel is covered in coins and the walls display messages from devotees. In 1995, the church was renovated for the saint's eighth centenary. The museum, in an annex building created in 1962, built in what is traditionally considered to be the place where the Saint was born, was the result of renovation in its exhibition through a project developed between 2010 and 2012 by Ana Cristina Leite, Pedro Teotónio Pereira and Rita Fragoso by Almeida.
