Convento di Sant'Agostino, Baroque convent and church in Sasso Barisano, Matera, Italy.

The complex includes a church dedicated to Santa Maria delle Grazie and a convent building situated on a rocky elevation in Matera.

Augustinian monks constructed the convent in 1592 on a previous structure dedicated to Saint William of Vercelli, followed by the church in 1594.

The interior features multiple artistic elements, including a wooden crucifix from the 16th century and a pipe organ constructed in 1749.

The structure currently houses the Superintendence for Architectural and Environmental Heritage and maintains regular opening hours for visitors.

The central portal displays three statues: Sant'Agostino in the main niche, with Saint Paul and Saint Peter positioned on opposing sides.
