An ancient church in the Gothic style, built 1264 by Augustinian friars on the pre-existing church of Saint Lucia, it still preserves some of the frescoes of the life of St.Augustine, the saint which it is dedicated to.
Recently the church was used as an evocative exhibition hall forming part of the Modo Museum circuit, hosting the statues of the Apostles: a beautiful complex of sculptures by Apostles and Saints made between the late sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries, which together with the sculptural group of the “Annunciation” by Francesco Mochi (1603-1608) recently all relocated to the cathedral.
This ex-church is an exhibition place of Museo dell’Opera del Duomo
