17th-century little church in Faicchio opposite the Ducal Castle, built during an epidemic and covered by an elliptical dome.

In Piazza Roma in Faicchio, right opposite the Ducal Castle, the Church of San Rocco was built in 1656, during an epidemic, in the place known as allo Chioppo. We like its raised position: to reach it you climb two flights of steps, one from the square to the churchyard and the other up to the door.The gabled façade has a lintelled portal, an oval skylight and a triangular pediment. Inside, in the single nave, light enters through four oculi in the elliptical dome, creating an intimate atmosphere. We recommend looking behind the altar for the niche with the statue of St Roch. The church was restored in 1987 and 2006.
