Show sight on map

The former church of Sant'Agostino is located in Ancona. The building, originally from the fourteenth century, was completely renovated in the seventeenth century by Luigi Vanvitelli. In the first years after the unification of Italy, it was used as a barracks and profoundly transformed. For its artistic value, the richly carved portal, a fifteenth-century work by Giorgio da Šibenik, was spared; Gothic and Renaissance art are harmoniously blended in it, as is typical of the Adriatic Renaissance.
