ES: "El origen del Molino de San Antonio probablemente data de época medieval. Hay documentos del siglo XVIII que constatan que el edificio original era de una sola planta. Fue molino harinero y debe su nombre a una imagen de San Antonio que antaño se ubicaba en una hornacina existente en la fachada. Ha estado en funcionamiento hasta mediados del siglo XX, en que se usó el edificio para construir barcas para cruzar el Guadalquivir.

Las crecidas del río y los cambios del sistema hidráulico, han motivado sucesivas reformas estructurales. Su actual estado es resultado de una rehabilitación proyectada por el arquitecto Juan Cuenca y que concluyó en 2008. De ella destaca la recuperación de la cubierta de madera, los cuerpos constructivos, el tajamar y el azud que comunica con los demás molinos.

Actualmente está concebido como sala de exposición y cuenta con horario de visita permanente."

EN: "The origin of the San Antonio Water mill probably goes back to medieval times. Eighteenth century documents confirm that the original building had only one floor. It was used as a flour mill and was named after a statue of St. Anthony that used to stand in a niche in the facade. It was a working mill right up to the mid-twentieth century, when the building began to be used to build boats to cross the Guadalquivir.

The river floods and changes in the hydraulic system have led to a series of structural reforms. Its current state is the result of rebuilding work carried out by the architect Juan Cuenca, which ended in 2008, including the recovery of the wooden flooring, the main rooms, the dike and the weir that connects it with the other mills.

It is currently used as an exhibition hall and has fixed visiting times."
