The Church and Convent of St. Augustine, founded at the end of the 13th century, underwent major changes over the centuries. In 1995, excavations conducted in the basement of the convent unearthed a large quantity of artefacts: around 300 enamelled pieces and a large number of biscuits that show no signs of use. It is assumed that the area investigated was the “butto” of the convent; however, the quantity and quality of the finds would also suggest an external use.

Inside the Church is a Chapel dedicated to Saint Monica, mother of Saint Augustine. The devotion to the Saint, in addition to the presence of a female confraternity that officiated in the Chapel, is evidenced by a number of ceramic artefacts, including a late 16th-century dish found in Via Rugarella, bearing the initials S.M., and a fragment found in the 16th-century kiln near the Bishop’s Palace.
