"The Basilica of Saints Trifone and Agostino" is a Catholic place of worship located not far from Piazza Navona, in the Sant'Eustachio district, behind Via della Scrofa. The construction of the building dates back to the 14th century, when the Augustinians decided to build a new structure for their convent and to dedicate it to Sant'Agostino. The new construction was too small for the needs of the convent community and moreover, being placed too low with respect to the course of the Tiber river, it was also subject to its floods. Thus, thanks to the munificence of Cardinal Guillaume d'Estouteville, the current basilica was built perpendicularly to the old one. The church has been a parish since its foundation; in fact, the titles and care of souls of the parish of San Trifone in Posterula were transferred to it. It is also the seat of the cardinal title of Sant'Agostino. In October 1999, Pope John Paul II elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica.
