The Church of St. Rocco 16th century

Cited in records from 1601, the Church of St. Rocco was originally Gothic, but was adapted in the 16th century during the Renaissance period, and then became a Baroque church in the 17th century. It has been expanded and renovated several times in its history.The church was last restored in 1999. There is a painting at the altar of the Virgin Mary beneath the clouds. St. Anthony of Padova is on her right holding a naked infant and St. Rocco is kneeling beside them lost in thought with a dog by his side watching him. Legend has it that the painting is the work of Palma il Giovane (the Younger, 1544 - 1628).
