Sant'Agostino, Romanesque church in San Gimignano, Italy

The Sant'Agostino church features a single nave design with three chapels and displays numerous medieval frescoes throughout its interior spaces.

Construction of the Sant'Agostino church began in 1280 and concluded in 1298, resulting in the second largest religious structure in San Gimignano.

The central apse contains a seventeen-panel fresco cycle depicting the Life of Saint Augustine, painted by Benozzo Gozzoli between 1463 and 1467.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and contains multiple artistic masterworks, including Piero del Pollaiuolo's 1483 Coronation of the Virgin altarpiece.

The Cappella di San Bartolo houses the remains of Saint Bartolo, a 13th-century Franciscan who dedicated his life to helping those affected by leprosy.
