Sant'Agostino (Trapani)
The Church of Sant'Agostino in Trapani was consecrated to John the Baptist by the Templars . In 1363 Friedrich III. from Aragon it was given to the Augustinian order , who rebuilt it in the 16th century in the Sicilian style .
The church was later used for both religious and civil ceremonies by the city.
The source of Saturn has been located next to the church since 1342 , which was taken in 1342 by the influential Chiaramonti family in honor of the lords of the city. The church was badly damaged during World War II . The building is on Piazzetta Saturno at the back of the tourist office.
The interior of the church building is dominated by the magnificent arched vault that fills the entire nave. The church has not only an asymmetrical floor plan, but also a polygonal apse. The roof structure is made of wood, the barrel vault (droleries) of which is painted with allegorical and grotesque figures from the repertoire of medieval miniatures. Parts of it are now kept in the former Carmelite monastery Museum Pepoli . Also inside is the painting The Three Angels Visit Abraham by Antonio Giuffrè .
