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.

The Church which is located on a hill gives a sceneic view of the village and sea. I loved its peaceful environment and cool weather. Recommendable for all seasons.

I was able to capture memorable moments outside the church, its exterior design with the statues was fascinating and the interior well decorated.

We visited the church and a sign outside the place told about the medieval history of the church and there was a wonderful musician playing live. Unforgettable moments.

The outside construction of the church is intriguing. Very simple yet unique and diverse architectural style. It was an extreme learning experience for me and my brother.

The church building is very beautiful and structured well, the priest leading the mass was very polite and kind, lighting up my candle once more next year
