In the historic center of Massafra, perched on the edge of the Gravina di San Marco, stands the 16th-century complex of the Church and Convent of Sant’Agostino.
The immense structure comprises around 50 rooms spread across the convent and the church, both remodeled following baroque principles. Thanks to the typical baroque curvature of its design, the building has withstood the erosion of time.
The interior is a triumph of baroque atmosphere and boasts ideal acoustics for concerts and musical performances. Now deconsecrated, the church and convent are among the city’s most sought-after cultural venues for weddings, book launches, events, and concerts.
