The name does not derive from the Gothic domination of Italy (5th-6th centuries), but from the Gascony family De Goth who held it in the 14th century.

Sant'Agata is not far from the ancient Samnite town of Saticula.

  • Cathedral (Duomo), founded in the 10th century. Due to the repeated reconstruction, little remains of the original edifice. The Romanesque crypt shows parts which could belong to several pre-existing buildings, including Roman or earlier ones.
  • Church of Santa Menna (10th century).
  • Castle, used as Ducal Palace.
  • Palace and church of St. Francis (1282).
  • Gothic church of the Annunziata (13th century). It houses 15th-century frescoes, and a diptych of the Annunciation dating to the same age.
  • The Council Room in City Hall was decorated in 1899 by Vincenzo Severino.
