Sight 8: Chiesa di Sant'Agostino

Show sight on map

The church of Sant'Agostino, formerly the church of Santa Lucia, is a church in Fano located in the historic center of the city, at the end of Via Vitruvio. Rebuilt first in the fifteenth century and then in the seventeenth century, it was almost completely demolished during the bombings of the Second World War, which saved only the east side. A reconstruction of the church in its original lines is currently underway. On the other hand, valuable works and architecture have been preserved in the adjacent convent, which will become the seat of the Diocesan Museum once the restoration is completed.
