Church of Saint Agatha, Gothic Catholic church in Brescia, Italy
The Church of Saint Agatha exhibits Italian Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements on its facade and features Baroque statues along its exterior walls.
Built in the 15th century on the site of an 8th-century church that burned down in 1184, this religious structure marked its official inauguration on January 17, 1401.
The main altar presents a 1522 painting by Francesco Prata depicting Saint Agatha with Saints Peter, Paul, Lucia, and Apollonia standing before the cross.
The church stands at Corsetto Sant'Agata near Piazza della Vittoria, making it accessible to visitors exploring the central area of Brescia.
The interior reveals a timeline of architectural evolution through its 15th-century presbytery, 16th-century ceiling, 1680s altars, and 18th-century Santissimo Sacramento chapel.
