A small chapel in Rocca San Felice built after the plague of 1625, with a 17th-century painting of the Madonna of Constantinople.

The chapel of Maria Santissima di Costantinopoli was built in Rocca San Felice after the plague of 1625, which claimed many victims in the village: a plaque inside recalls it. We like the simplicity of the façade, with a doorway topped by a window and a triangular pediment crowned by an iron cross, which makes it a peaceful stop on a stroll through the village.The interior has a single nave. On the high altar is a 17th-century painting of the Madonna of Constantinople. We also suggest looking for the Madonna of the Rosary with Saints Nicholas and Roch, which testifies to the chapel's link with the confraternity of the Holy Rosary, and looking up at the ceiling, where the Archangel Gabriel is depicted.
