The Church of St. Roch was built in the 14th century and was extended during the Baroque period by the addition of a porch, completely renovated in 1913. In the oldest part of the church there are scenes of saints painted by Anthony of Padua. The best-preserved figure is St. Leonard, a saint in chains, who best shows Anthony's modeling of the face, the anatomical details of meticulous drawing, and the thick, opaque layers of color. Although poorly preserved today, its frescoes adorning the walls offer a beautiful sight.
