One of two churches in the old town, it was built in the Baroque style in the middle 18th century and dedicated to St Rocco - who is often invoked against the epidemics - after the town had suffered greatly from a cholera outbreak. A wooden statue of the church's patron saint is located on the altar, above which there is a large fresco depicting the Assumption of the Virgin. The church was completely renovated both inside and out over the past few decades, while the noted fresco was restored to its original condition in 1998. To this day it remains a pilgrimage site on both the 15th and 16th of August - Assumption Day and St Rocco's feast day respectively. Concerts and other cultural events are often held inside as well, so check with tourist information office to see if anything is happening while you're in town.
