Sant Antoni de Calonge

History

In ancient times, Sant Antoni de Calonge served as a summer retreat for the Romans. Construction on the fortress in Calonge dates back to the 8th century. The church of St. Daniel and a Roman road are the two oldest buildings of architectural value still standing in Sant Antoni. The church of St Daniel dates back to the sixteenth or seventeenth century. With few ancient structures to impede development, most buildings in Sant Antoni are from the twentieth century, although some homes date back to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Sant Antoni de Calonge is now under the municipality of Calonge. However, it was an autonomous town in 1936 under the name, San Antonio de Mar and later Levantine Sea. This autonomy only lasted during the Spanish Civil War, from 1936 until 1939.
