The church of S. Agostino was built outside the walls of Città della Pieve around the middle of the 13th century. It has been a deconsecrated church since the period of Italy’s Unification and is currently used as a venue for events, shows and conferences. An ancient Convent that stands next to the church was requisitioned by the church authorities after a number of suppressions and now houses a school.
The exterior is Gothic in style, with a simple facade and a multi-lobed portal. The bell tower, located next to the church, was built in 1741. At the time of its construction, the interior had a single nave with a square apse, surmounted by a trussed roof, like the structure of the other nearby churches of S. Francesco and the current sanctuary of the Madonna di Fatima, the Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Servi.
In 1789, following restructuring work by Andrea Vici, the interior underwent numerous alterations and acquired a wholly neoclassical-style. The church houses numerous valuable works by Umbrian and Tuscan artists, such as the painting by Alessandro Brunelli “Assunzione ed Incoronazione della Vergine” in which typical elements of the painting style of Raphael can be found, a copy of “La Fuga in Egitto” by Francesco Vanni , “Gloria di San Tommaso da Villanova” a painting inspired by Caravaggio and dated 1662, by an Umbrian painter and “San Nicola da Tolentino e storie della sua vita” by Salvio Savini. Also by Savini is a frescoed niche depicting “La Madonna della Spiga”, a painting in the apse dated 1584 and titled “Madonna in Gloria circondata da San Nicola di Bari, Sant’Agostino, Santa Chiara e da una Confraternita” and “San Girolamo in preghiera” exhibited on the altar of the sacristy. The work “Ascensione di Cristo” by Nicolò Circignani is also visible as well as several rococo-style side altars.
