On a height above Circello, the small stone Church of San Rocco grew from a chapel of 1500 and has a bell tower of 1877.

We climb the hill overlooking Circello to reach the Church of San Rocco. It all began with a small chapel built around 1500, then enlarged over time into an intimate stone church. In 1691 it received the title of Sacro Monte dei Morti, while the bell tower was added in 1877.Inside we like the altar decorated with 18th-century polychrome marble, with a tabernacle holding the image of Our Lady of Sorrows. The last restorations date back to the 1980s. We recommend walking up from the village: the elevated position offers a fine view of the village and the hills of the Sannio.
