The Agiou Antoniou Chapel is situated in the village of Peristerona in the Nicosia district. More specifically the chapel is located west of the Agion Varnava and Ilarionos Church , which is the main church of the village.

According to tradition the chapel was built over the remains of an older chapel which was possibly destroyed due to the passing of time.
