The Church of Saint Anthony of Padua (Spanish: Templo de San Antonio de Padua) is a Catholic church and monument in downtown Aguascalientes, Mexico, built between 1895 and 1908. The church is widely considered the masterpiece of Refugio Reyes Rivas, a mason who went to become one of the most influential architects in the region. In this work Rivas departed from any specific style, explicitly choosing an eclectic architecture drawing from neoclassical, baroque, Russian and even gothic and Islamic influences.[1][2] The building was originally commissioned by the franciscans, but it is currently managed by the Order of Saint Augustine.
