The Sant'Agnese in Agone Church is yet another one of Borromini's baroque masterpieces. The most fascinating section of the church is the chapel that holds the relics of Saint Inez. The story of Saint Inez, who died a martyr in this church, is a strange one. She was to be flogged to death, but as she was stripped of her clothes her hair started to grow miraculously until it covered her entire body. One of the church doors leads into an underground tunnel where you can visit the ruins of the ancient Circo Domiciano, which now lie beneath the Piazza Navona.
