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 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.
