This 17th century Church has the privilege to be situated at the beautiful Piazza Navona and opposite the Fountain of the Four Rivers, a masterpiece by Bernini. Furthermore, the Church and the Fountain are kind of connected, because Bernini made the figure closest to the Church put up a protective arm, because this Church could fall in at any moment. However, the Sant'Agnese in Agone Church still stands, an example of a durable building; the prediction of Bernini never came true. The Church is named after the martyr Sant'Agnese and her coffin with a statue of her sister, also a martyr, can be viewed in a chapel inside the Church.

We came in to escape the rain and what a surprise. Like so many other churches in Rome, a baroque masterpiece. More crowded than usual due to the weather, we spent about 30 minutes just exploring. Remember, marble is slippery when wet.

This is charming Baorque church located at Piazza Navona in the city centre of Rome. It was designed and built between 1652-59 by Girolamo and Carlo Rainaldi as well as Francesco Borromini. Opening hours 9am to 1pm (morning) and 3pm to 7pm (evening) Tuesdays to Sunday, closed on Mondays. You will see an impressive facade as well as a small octagonal shaped nave surrounded by nice altar and artworks. The cupola features a detailed fresco a bit difficult to see when light is dim in the church but nice to view from one of the seats in the church.
