Ex Ospedale di Sant'Agostino, Former hospital complex in Modena, Italy.
The Ex Ospedale di Sant'Agostino features symmetrical architecture with separate wings for male and female patients, centered around sacred altars and religious spaces.
Construction began in 1753 under Duke Francesco III d'Este and expanded in 1772 to include military infirmary facilities, serving Modena's population until 2004.
The building transforms into AGO Modena Cultural Factories, integrating exhibition spaces, multimedia facilities, and educational areas for community engagement.
The renovation project received 17 million euros from the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and spans over 11,000 square meters of restoration work.
The hospital design incorporated religious elements, with patient wards oriented toward sacred images and two main altars: San Giobbe for women and San Nicolò for men.
