Chiesa di San Rocco/ Cerkev sv. Roka, Piran

Amen🙏

The first documents that testify to the presence of the church date back to the mid-late 16th century (1557), but its current Baroque appearance is due to the restructuring that took place in the 17th century. The interior, with a single nave, has a ceiling decorated in stucco, a marble altar from the mid-eighteenth century, the work of the Italian sculptor Bettini, while the golden canopy (above the altar) dates back to the nineteenth century, and is the work of the Piranese Zarotti. Near the entrance, a stoup in Ursera stone from 1662 deserves attention. A small church "squeezed" between parked cars and buildings from various eras ... I would say interesting, but not unmissable ... N.B.: the church is visible through a protective grille
