Sant'Agostino, Gubbio

The church features a single nave with a rectangular apse and wooden beams resting on pointed arches supported by stone pillars throughout the structure.

The construction of Sant'Agostino began in 1251 following Pope Innocent IV's grant of indulgences to contributors, with completion documented by a papal bull in 1292.

The apse contains frescoes from 1420 depicting scenes from Saint Augustine's life, representing one of the most significant late-Gothic painting collections in Gubbio.

The church opens to visitors who can examine eight side chapels constructed during the 15th and 16th centuries, containing numerous religious artworks and frescoes.

A permanent Nativity scene, created by local parishioners in 1977, occupies a cave-like room adjacent to the main church structure.
