Chiesa di Sant'Agostino

Gothic church in Cremona with Renaissance art, including works linked to Perugino and Bembo.

Chiesa di Sant'Agostino is one of Cremona's worthwhile secondary churches, a Gothic building with enough art inside to justify stepping away from the cathedral-and-violin circuit. The church has been altered over the centuries, but its chapels preserve paintings, sculpture, and Renaissance decoration that reward a slow look.

It is best for travelers who enjoy church interiors and art history rather than those trying to tick off Cremona's main sights quickly. Pair it with a walk through the quieter streets north of the centre, then return to the Torrazzo and cathedral square with a better sense of how much art is tucked into the city beyond its headline monuments.
