Serrone. St Roch Church

Like many churches dedicated to St. Roch, patron of plague victims, the church was built during a plague epidemic in Serrone.

The story of St. Rocco and his dog who managed to overcome the plague have made him the patron to ask for miracles during these crises.

Probably the church was built during the plague of 1592.

The church was rebuilt in 1969.
