Church of Sant'Agostino de Reggio d'Émilie, Romanesque church in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
Sant'Agostino is a Romanesque church featuring a single-nave interior with a barrel vault that creates a continuous open space. The building was redesigned between 1645 and 1666 according to plans by architect Gaspare Vigarani, transforming its appearance and structure.
The building was originally founded in the 8th century as a church dedicated to Saint Apollinaire and was rebuilt in 1268 in Lombard Gothic style. The later reshaping in the 17th century gave it the form seen today.
The church is dedicated to Saint Augustine, and its interior displays religious artworks by renowned painters that reflect the artistic tastes of different periods. Walking through, you encounter a space designed for prayer and contemplation, where art and faith come together naturally.
The church is easily accessible and regularly open to visitors, especially during service times and standard opening hours. It is helpful to check the status of entrances and clarify accessibility before your visit if you have special needs.
The entrance wall displays a medieval fresco showing the Virgin and Child that has survived through the centuries. This remarkable artwork remains clearly visible and reveals an older artistic layer beneath the later rebuilding.
