The Church of Sant'Agostino, proudly erected on the square of the same name, is witness to centuries of history and rebirth. Founded by Augustinian monks way back in 1270, this place of faith and spirituality has transformed over time into an architectural masterpiece.

In the 15th century, three naves separated by cylindrical columns and capitals adorned with water leaves took shape, enchanting the faithful. In the 17th century, eight aedicule altars were added along the walls of the naves, offering spaces for prayer and reflection.

However, her beauty was tested by fate. During the Second World War, a bomb hit the apse, destroying the wooden furnishings created by a fifteenth-century artist from Prato. But the determination to preserve this historic jewel has never broken. Between 1964 and 1966, a careful work restored the church to its ancient glory and since then the Sacramentine fathers have guarded it with devotion.

The façade, simple and linear, is made of cobblestones with bricks and stones at the corners. A rectangular bell tower stands above it, the symbol of the church in the city panorama. The majestic portal, dating back to the first half of the fifteenth century, is surmounted by a lunette and decorated with three coats of arms: Francesco Datini, symbol of generosity and devotion, the Municipality, guardian of the city's history, and the Ceppo Nuovo, witness to the profound bond between the people and the church.

Once you cross the threshold, you will be enveloped by the majesty of a basilica nave. The columns, which today proudly display the brickwork, were freed from the plaster during the restoration in the 1960s. But the 15th century arches, elegantly intertwined between the columns, capture the attention, anticipating the architectural solutions of the Renaissance.
Surprise yourself in front of the three apsidal chapels from the late 14th century, which house frescoes detached from their walls, an artistic treasure dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Inside, the seventeenth-century aedicules host works of art by great masters such as Giovan Battista Naldini, Lorenzo Lippi, Empoli, Giovanni Bizzelli and an artist associated with Cigoli.
