The Church of San Antonio is a church located in Aranjuez, in the Community of Madrid, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural and a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within Aranjuez Cultural Landscape in 2003.
Ferdinand VI of Spain built a chapel dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua as an Oratorio to replace an earlier private chapel constructed during the reign of Philip IV of Spain. It stands on the south side of a large parade square known as 'Mariblanca' which leads into the courtyard of Royal Palace known as Plaza de Parejas. This new building, designed by Santiago Bonavía around 1752 would serve the people as well as the Monarchy. Charles III of Spain enlarged the chapel, incorporating a large square cupola with a gable roof.
