Probably built around 1400, it was built as a vow made during the plague which, in those years, claimed hundreds of victims.
This is probably why it was always named after St. Rocco, the patron saint of plague victims. The modestly sized church boasts a singular one-piece marble altar, surmounted by a valuable fresco of the saint pointing to a wound on his knee with the index finger of his right hand and a small white dog sitting nearby. Recently the church has been the focus of painstaking restoration work.
