History
Sant'Agata is not far from the ancient Samnite town of Saticula.
The "Goths" (Italian: Goti) part of the town's name does not derive from the (Ostro) Gothic domination of Italy (5th–6th centuries), but from the noble Gascon De Goth family, who held it in the 14th century.
Main sights

- Church of San Menna (10th century).
- Castle, used as Ducal Palace.
- Palace and church of St. Francis (1282).
