Saint Anthony Catholic Church, Purbayan

Probably one of the oldest church is Surakarta. Located in the middle of Surakarta, near City Hall and there are many schools nearby.

Very historical church with excellent acoustic arangement.

Lovely place...

Reviewing a place of worship? Are you kidding me?? Oh well, let me finish what I've started. First of all, this church is probably one of the oldest. It was renovated and enlarged many years ago when I was still a teenager. My dad, who happened to be the member of church commitee took over the lead of the renovation effort, after the original leader resigned half way through the project. I still remember when he criticized the original enlargement/renovation plan, calling it a half-hearted, band-aid approach. He then offered a brand new enlargement design of his own, which is the church we know today. Once his plan was approved by the lead priest, he ordered the then newly built columns (which were part of the band-aid plan) to be demolished and replaced with thick steel beams as part of the roof canopy. So there you go, folks, now you know why the middle part of the church is so wide and airy, without any columns restricting the view to the altar. Thanks, dad, you are my hero!
