Sant'Agnese, Medieval church at Sella di Sant'Agnese, Gemona del Friuli, Italy.

Sant'Agnese is a medieval church positioned at 427 meters above sea level in the Gemona del Friuli area. It faces north overlooking the Rivoli Bianchi gravel beds and the Tagliamento valley below.

Construction began in the 12th century, possibly on the site of an ancient pagan temple. Over time a hermitage developed at the location which eventually became a convent.

The nuns of Sant'Agnese were called "converse" rather than "monache" in period documents, and their rule is uncertain: Benedictine or Augustinian, possibly mixed for a time. Under Prioress Pellegrina in the 1330s the convent prospered; after her death in 1339 Patriarch Bertrando exempted it from taxes, a decision Gemona resented, diverting donations elsewhere.

The church underwent reconstruction between 1983 and 1984 using original materials following the 1976 earthquake damage. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the approach involves steep mountain paths.

The location served as a filming site for scenes in Mario Monicelli's 1959 film 'La Grande Guerra'. This connection links the church to 20th century Italian cinema history.
