Hermitage of St. Roch

View on map

Built in the 19th century in honour of St. Roch, patron against the plague and other incurable infections from the past. On 16 August, one of the town’s most unique festivals is held, where it is a tradition for children to go up to kiss the saint and take cake from his dog. On that day, the Eucharist in honour of St. Roch takes place. At the end, lemonade and cakes are given out to those attending.

Set in a recently restored environment, this is a small building dating from the 19th century.
