Sant'Agata de' Goti, Rome

Sant'Agata dei Goti is a titular church in Rome, Italy, dedicated to the martyr Agatha of Sicily and the home of the Congregation of the Sacred Stigmata’s (Stigmatines) General Curia.

The diaconia is assigned to Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, patron emeritus of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.

[2] The fresco in the apse shows the Glory of St Agatha, made by Paolo Gismondi in the 17th century.

A cherub bring the severed breasts of Agatha on a platter to the Virgin as a demonstration of her sacrifice.

It has four columns of pavonazzetto marble, all decorated with Cosmatesque mosaic, and a temple roof.

The former canopy was destroyed in 1589; fragments can be seen in the ceiling of the main chapel on the left-hand side.
