Castel Sant'Angelo. Church of saint Roch

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.
