San Antonio del Monte (Spanish for “Saint Anthony of the mountain”) is a municipality in the Sonsonate department of El Salvador. The town was founded at the beginning of the 18th century by the friars of the convent of Santo Domingo of Sonsonate. It is located at 230 meters of height and at a kilometer to the west of the city of Las Palmeras. The image of San Antonio has always possessed a miraculous fame since maidens in their prayers request for a boyfriend to marry.
The current beautiful temple initiated its construction on January 20, 1841, initiated by the Friar Jeronimo Zelaya, and the funds were under the administration of the priest Miguel Rosales. The construction cost around 50,000 colones. It was blessed and inaugurated on January 30, 1861 with the concurrence of the president of the Republic, Captain General Gerardo Barrios.
