Roccasecca. Church of Holy Cross (Santa Croce)

The small church of Holy Cross - Santa Croce is located just outside the walls of the old castle of Roccasecca.

It was built by the Counts of Aquino who were very devoted to the Holy Cross.

The structure looks like a single small room, partly carved out of the rock, with a wooden roof.

The facade has a door and two small side openings.

Probably in this church St. Thomas was baptized, and who was born in the nearby castle.

For years it has been the mother church of the village.
