Chiesa di Sant'Agostino

The Chiesa di Sant'Agostino displays an elliptical layout with a central dome, intersected by entry points and substantial chapels throughout the structure.

The church underwent complete reconstruction in 1725 under architect Giovanni Battista Contini after sustaining severe damage from the 1703 earthquake.

The building transformed from a religious space to a theater during the latter half of the 20th century, reflecting changes in community needs.

Following the 2009 earthquake and subsequent restoration efforts, including dome reconstruction in 2018, the church remains closed to public access.

The secondary facade features two columns with Corinthian capitals, while only one Romanesque side portal survives from the original 13th-century construction.
