Parroquia de San Antonio de Padua
Barranquita's charming central plaza is overlooked by the Parroquia de San Antonio de Padua, a small church that was first constructed in 1804 but subsequently destroyed by two catastrophic hurricanes (the first of which wiped out the whole town). Rebuilt in 1933 in a quaint postcolonial style, the church was recently renovated and gleams amid the surrounding mountain greenery.
