The church of San Antonio de Padua, in Villanueva de San Carlos (Ciudad Real), is a single-nave church with walls of volcanic stone and brick masonry, a construction method characteristic of the volcanic zone of the Campo de Calatrava. According to the dictionary of Pascual Madoz, in the mid-19th century the building was an annex of the parish of Calzada de Calatrava and was served by a lieutenant; it had been built in 1832 by the architect José Solís, at the expense of the Marquis of Santa Cruz, commander of the Obrería.
