A church built after the plague of 1656 in honour of Saint Roch, Frigento's protector, with a neoclassical stone façade.

The church of San Rocco in Frigento was built at the end of the 17th century as a thanksgiving after the plague of 1656, when the saint became the town's protector. Damaged by fire in 1902, it was rebuilt and completed in 1930 with its present neoclassical façade in local stone.Inside, we suggest admiring the 18th-century wooden statue of Saint Roch, of the Neapolitan school, and a 1927 painting by Giuseppe Aprea. We like coming here in August, when the community celebrates the saint with a much-loved festival: a perfect opportunity to discover the village's traditions.
