The Church of Sant'Antonio is a Greek cross church located at the top of the Monti district, unique in its kind because it is entirely made of trulli. The construction is quite recent, it was built in 1927. The contrast between the northern slope of Largo Martellotta, "new" and more "advanced" than the southern slope, entirely made of trulli, was still very much felt at the time.
