Church of St. Rocco
Church of St. Rocco is located on the highest hill in Trpanj, which offers a view of the whole village and the open sea. The church was built in the late 16th century as a votive church. St. Roch or Rocco is a saint of the Roman Catholic Church who lived in 14th century France and contracted the plague twice. He is revered as a protector against plague and infectious diseases in general. In the 19th century, the church underwent alterations. A monumental staircase, built in 1927, leads to the church. The second and smaller steps lead to the church of St. Nicholas on the other hill.

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
