The chapel St Anthony is located next to St Augustine Church. It is believed that it was built in the early 16th century. It was made for St Anthony; he was a saint from Portugal. In order to give respect to him it was built. The Chapel was closed 1835 by the governor as he thought it was a useless expense. On the day of feast, the governor had a bad fall and almost saw a certain death. At once he ordered the re-inauguration of the chapel. The chapel was renovated twice in 1894 and lately in 1961.
