The Church of St. Agnes in Agony (Chiesa di Sant’Agnese in Agone) is the gorgeous baroque centerpiece of the legendary Piazza Navona in Rome. There you can pray and reflect on the faith and bravery of this young woman in front of her remains on the site of her martyrdom in the year 304. We weren’t allowed to take photos inside the church, but you can find a gallery of photos on the Sant’Agnese in Agone Wikipedia Page.
