Chiesa di S. Agostino, Baroque parish church in Castelfidardo, Italy.
The chiesa di S. Agostino is a baroque church in Castelfidardo with a single nave structure. The interior is defined by four side altars holding statues and a multicolored marble main altar at the center.
The church was originally dedicated to the Annunciation of Mary in 1491 before being transferred to the Augustinian order in 1560. A major reconstruction in 1571 gave it the baroque form visible today.
The church is named after Saint Augustine, and its side altars display statues of Augustinian religious figures that shape the interior space. These sacred images reflect the long-standing connection to the Augustinian order.
The church is located near the intersection of Via Montegrappa and Via Sant'Agostino in the town center. Regular services are held, and the space is typically open for visitors to explore the interior.
In 1860, Italian troops under General Cialdini used the building as a military headquarters before their battle against papal forces. This political moment made the church a location in a pivotal chapter of Italian unification.
