Sant'Agostino, Prato

Sant'Agostino is an Romanesque-style brick church in central Prato, Tuscany, Italy.

An oratory and small Augustinian monastery had been present on the site since 1271. Construction of the church lasted until 1440. New altars were built in the 16th and 17th century. It became a parish church upon the suppression of the convent in 1810. Since 1964, it has belonged to the padri Sacramentini.[1]
