Sant'Agostino, Gothic church in Colle di Val d'Elsa, Italy.

Sant'Agostino features a Latin cross layout with three naves separated by Tuscan columns supporting semicircular arches and barrel vaults with lunettes.

The church construction began in 1305 and underwent major renovations in 1531 under the direction of architect Antonio da Sangallo the Elder.

The right nave contains the Baroque Cini family altar with a gilded wooden canopy housing a reproduction of the Holy Face by Florentine painter Carlo Dolci.

The bell tower, added in 1900 following designs by Antonio Salvetti, displays three levels of windows including single, double, and triple Gothic openings.

The unfinished facade reveals medieval construction elements through its stepped structure and light stone blocks, with traces of a planned ogival lunette above the portal.
