About

The Basilica di Sant’Agostino, situated in Rome’s Campo Marzio district just a few steps from Piazza Navona, is a stunning testament to Renaissance ecclesiastical architecture. The present basilica, completed in 1483 thanks to the patronage of Cardinal Guillaume d’ Estouteville, sits on the site of an earlier 14th‑century church and incorporates the rich artistic legacy of the Augustinian order. Inside, visitors are greeted by an impressive array of masterpieces, including Caravaggio’s striking "Madonna of Loreto", Raphael’s celebrated fresco of Isaiah, and Guercino’s evocative scenes of religious life. The church remains an active parish and continues to host special services, cultural events, and pilgrimages, making it a must-visit destination for those interested in Italian art, architecture, and religious history.
