The Basilica of Saint Augustine of Hippo in the Campus Martius (Italian: Basilica di Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio; Latin: Basilica Sancti Augustini in Campo Martio), more commonly known as Sant'Agostino, is a titular church in Rome, Italy. Dedicated to Saint Augustine of Hippo, it now serves as the motherhouse of the Order of Saint Augustine. The current basilica was completed in 1483 and is notable for its Renaissance architecture and artworks by Caravaggio, Raphael, and Guercino. Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine, is buried here. On 29 October 1999, Pope John Paul II elevated the church to the rank of minor basilica.
