Sublime à voir absolument 1 fois dans sa vie !
des portes splendides avec notamment l'effigie de saint Augustin en pied.
A l'intérieur, il faut remarquer l'éblouissant devant d'autel en argent massif, le reliquaire de st Andrea patron de l'église et de la ville.
Attenant à l'église, un rafraîchissant cloître dit"du paradis" invite au repos et à la méditation.
Un musée présente notamment un collier de la Toison d'or.
