Die Kirche St. Rocco befindet sich auf dem höchsten Hügel in Trpanj, von dem aus man einen Blick auf das ganze Dorf und das offene Meer hat. Die Kirche wurde im späten 16. Jahrhundert als Votivkirche erbaut. St. Roch oder Rocco ist ein Heiliger der römisch-katholischen Kirche, der im 14. Jahrhundert in Frankreich lebte und zweimal an der Pest erkrankte. Er wird als Beschützer vor der Pest und ansteckenden Krankheiten im Allgemeinen verehrt. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Kirche umgestaltet. Eine monumentale Treppe, die 1927 gebaut wurde, führt zur Kirche. Die zweite und kleinere Treppe führt zur Kirche St. Nikolaus auf dem anderen Hügel.

I loved the variety of books in the library. They hold the history of croatians with the roman rulers. History in church.

Art has always fascinated me. I visited this gallery and it surpased my imagination. I never knew the old and the new can be put together to produce something fabulous and magical. My bird watching and bird feeding experience was good.

We were very astonished by the talent of the painters, it was a great feeling just looking at the frescoes within the altar. It has numerous statues, i especially loved how they were arranged. The art surpassed my imagination and made me appreciate artwork more. The view from the hill was panoramic, we could see the village and the sea very clearly. Will definitely come back

Attending the feast of St. Rocco to celebrate the saint to which the church was dedicated, was an honorable opportunity. I learnt and interacted with people from the community.
