The Saint Roch church of Castel Sant'Angelo has an early medieval origin.
It was transformed in the sixteenth century, when Margarita of Austria received as a dowry from her father, her Emperor Charles V, some lands of Abruzzo and Castel Sant'Angelo itself.
Two ovens, a mill and a mountain were assigned to San Rocco and the income from these goods was to be used for the maintenance of the church and for other charitable works.
