Sant'Agnese, Neoclassical church in Treviso, Italy

Sant'Agnese is a neoclassical church built in 1613 to a design by Andrea Pagnossin. Its facade has a triangular pediment carried by four Corinthian pilasters, with a central oval beneath the entablature and two rectangular windows; the pediment holds a central statue of the Redeemer flanked by Saint John the Baptist and Saint John the Evangelist. Inside, a rectangular nave of Doric order has four side altars in polychrome marble, and the main altar holds Ottavio Cocchi's painting of the Martyrdom of the Forty Saints in a stucco frame of 1729.

A church dedicated to Saint Agnes is documented from 1268, on a site next to the present building. In 1529 Pope Leo X entrusted the complex to the Lateran Canons Regular after their convent outside the walls was destroyed in 1518 by the troops of the League of Cambrai. The current church was built in 1613 to a design by Andrea Pagnossin, then dedicated to the Forty Saints; in 1778 the Cathedral Chapter demolished the medieval church of Sant'Agnese and transferred its title here. It became a parish church in the 19th century.

The church was dedicated to the Forty Martyrs until 1778, when the title of Sant'Agnese was transferred here from the medieval temple demolished that year. The parish today also includes the 19th-century church of San Giovanni della Croce, designed by Giuseppe Segusini, and Mario Botta's chapel in the Appiani area.

The facade with its triangular pediment and four Corinthian pilasters faces the street; the entrance is on this front. Inside, the rectangular single nave has four side altars, and the 2014 Zanin organ stands in the baroque cantoria beside the presbytery. The parish also includes the 19th-century church of San Giovanni della Croce by Giuseppe Segusini and Mario Botta's chapel in the Appiani area.

The church was built in 1613 as the church of the Santi Quaranta, and only took the title of Sant'Agnese in 1778, when the medieval church of that name was demolished. The large altarpiece by Ottavio Cocchi still shows the Martyrdom of the Forty Saints, and its stucco frame dates from 1729.
