The Church of Sant'Agostino is a sacred building located along the main street of Montalcino.
The construction of this imposing church dates back to the early 14th century. The façade is divided into two sections by a stone band: the lower section features a cusped portal with lateral pinnacles and a cornice decorated with stylized leaves; the upper section appears to have been restored, with the addition of a large oculus with a rose window.
The interior follows the usual convent layout, with a wide nave ending in a quadrangular chapel with a cross vault. To the left, the monastic rooms are grouped around the two 16th-century cloisters.
The walls of the church were frescoed by various Sienese artists in the 14th and 15th centuries, with Scenes from the Passion of Christ and Stories from the Life of Saint Anthony the Abbot.
The 14th-century frescoes in the choir, depicting Stories of Saint Augustine, the Evangelists, and Doctors of the Church, are attributed to Bartolo di Fredi.
