Sant'Agnese in Agone, Baroque church in Piazza Navona, Rome, Italy
The church features a concave facade with twin bell towers, a central dome, and intricate marble decorations facing the central square.
Pope Innocent X commissioned the construction in 1652 to replace an earlier structure at the site of Saint Agnes martyrdom.
The interior holds precious Christian relics, including Saint Agnes skull, displayed in an ornate reliquary in the underground crypt.
Visitors can access the church daily from 9:30 to 12:30 and 15:30 to 19:00, except Mondays when the building remains closed.
The church occupies the exact location of Saint Agnes execution in the ancient Domitian stadium, which determined the curved shape of Piazza Navona.
