The Artistic Depth of Church of Sant'Agostino

This late-13th-century Catholic church is notable for its exquisite frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli, which vividly depict the life of St Augustine.

Founded in 1280, the church stands out for its architectural elegance, historical significance, and unique artworks, including the oldest fresco in San Gimignano, painted by Lippo Memmi in 1317. Gozzoli’s works are particularly significant as they portray the protection of the town's citizens during the 1464 plague.
