A small chapel with an altar surmounted by a canvas depicting St. Roch and St. Sebastian is visible on Via San Rocco.
Its origins are uncertain; it was probably built in the seventeenth century, as the saints to whom it is dedicated are considered by the peasant culture to be protectors from the plague and all the epidemics that could strike humans and animals.
It rises in a panoramic position.
