It is a small, single-nave hermitage with a reredos in the apse where the images of Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint John the Baptist, and the Holy Family can be venerated, topped by an image of Saint Michael the Archangel.
Outside, there is an eighteenth-century tile depicting Saint Anthony of Padua, from where the chapel and the neighbourhood derive their name. The portal has the beauty of traditional architecture, composed of three arches supported on ashlar pilasters.
Recommendations: The Jewish Quarter of Cáceres is one of the most picturesque and beautiful areas of the Historic Centre.
