Chiesa di Sant'Agostino

Next to the popular Saturn Fountain is the main entrance of the Chiesa di Sant'Agostino that was built in the twelfth century and was a former Knights Templar chapel dedicated to San Juan Bautista. Frederick III of Aragon ordered a rebuild in the thirteenth century for the Augustinian Fathers. During World War II it was heavily damaged and the convent demolished. The current appearance is typically Gothic, like the front that has a niche with a statue of a Madonna and Child and a huge rosette. Since the nineteenth century it's not been worshiped in but is used as an exhibition hall, such as an exhibition on Leonardo Da Vinci that we saw.
