Sant’Agata
Corsetto S. Agata 27

The church, of ancient traditions, came widened in the present shapes in the XVth century even if the southern flank was heavy modified in 1927 in order to adapt it to the new construction of Victoria’s Square. They remain intact: the outside of the presbytery, with the polychrome tiles in glazed terracotta that frame the two oblong windows of the apse and the frieze under the roof, and the simple facade, half covered with Botticino’s marble, on which three beautiful statues of Ss. Agata, Lucia and Apollonia by Calegari (1739) detach.
The inside at one nave is characterized from several participations that are followed in the course of the centuries, as demonstrate the raised presbytery of the XVth century decorated with interesting frescos representing the Crucifixion, the Nativity and the Ss Giacomo and Antonio, the balcony (XVIth century) of the first two spans, the sail vaults and the baroque frescos by Antonio Sorisena and Pompeo Ghitti (1638) and the chapel of the Holy Sacrament (XVIIIth century) on the right side. Behind the high altar it catches a beautiful painting of the XVIth century by Francesco Prato representing the Martyrdom of S. Agate; on the first altar on the left, we signal a remarkable polyptych of Brescia school (XVIth century), attributed to Ferramola or Caylina il Giovane , in the middle of which there is the fresco of the Madonna of the Mercy (XVth century) object of popular veneration.
