Paliano. Church of St Rocco

The small Church of Saint Rocco built outside the perimeter of the walls in the eighteenth century appears to be dedicated to three saints: St. Rocco, the Blessed Virgin and St. Sebastiano.

The small Church of San Rocco consists of one room and has only one altar with a 1780 altarpiece by Giacomo Mango.

The dedication to San Rocco was probably made after the plague epidemic because he is really the patron saint protecting from the plague.

The church has a small bell that is rung on August 16 in honour of the celebrations of the saint in Paliano.
