Sant'Agostino, Rimini, Romanesque-Gothic Catholic church in Rimini, Italy

Sant'Agostino is a Romanesque-Gothic church in Rimini, located along Via Cairoli and built in brick. At the rear, a bell tower with a pyramidal top rises above the surrounding buildings and marks the structure from a distance.

The church was founded in 1069 under the name San Giovanni Evangelista and took its current name in 1247 when Augustinian monks settled there. That change marked a new chapter in the life of the building that shaped much of what can be seen today.

Inside, 14th-century frescoes cover the walls with scenes from the life of Saint Augustine and the Last Judgement. These paintings were uncovered after earthquakes and can still be seen by visitors today.

The church is open to visitors during regular hours and is easy to reach on foot from the center of Rimini. As an active place of worship, visitors are expected to dress and behave accordingly once inside.

On 20 January 1498, Pandolfo IV Malatesta, lord of Rimini, was attacked during Sunday Mass here by conspirators led by Nicolò Adimari, Clementino Clementini and Marsilio Cattani. Slightly wounded, he escaped with the help of followers; the conspirators were killed and their bodies hung from the battlements of the Rocca.
