Canterano. Church of Saitn Roch

The small church of Saint Roch is located near the village of Canterano and is integrated with the rock of the mountain.

The building has a simple plaster facade that ends with a bell and at the entrance of the church there are some steps that seems to be carved out of stone.

The interior of the church consists of a single rectangular room with a wooden roof.

Saint Roch was the protector of the plague, and these churches were placed before the entrance to the village to protect the health of the citizens.
