Sant'Agata, Medieval church in San Ambrogio district, Florence, Italy
Sant'Agata features religious artworks and decorations throughout its interior, including an altarpiece depicting The Wedding at Cana by Lorenzo Pucci and Allori.
The church originated in 1211 as a convent established by the nuns of Saint Agatha, later serving as a refuge for Camaldolese nuns after the Battle of Campaldino in 1289.
The church walls display frescoes by Giovanni Bizzelli, including The Martyrdom of Saint Agatha and Her Burial, along with works attributed to Lorenzo di Credi.
Located on Via San Gallo in Florence's historic center, Sant'Agata maintains regular opening hours and continues to function as an active religious site.
The building transformed from a convent to a military hospital chapel in the 19th century, preserving its religious function while adapting to new community needs.
