San Rocco Church, Catholic church in central Lugano, Switzerland.
The church features a single nave with a barrel vault ceiling, an octagonal dome above the presbytery, and a neo-baroque facade from 1910.
Built in 1528 following a vow by Lugano residents during a plague epidemic, the church replaced an older structure dedicated to Saint Blaise from 1349.
The vault contains three frescoes by Ludovico David depicting the Assumption and Saints Sebastian and Roch, completed between 1676 and 1677.
Located on Via Canova near Piazza San Rocco, the church maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.
The wooden choir gallery houses a pipe organ built in 1905 by Giuseppe Vedani, featuring two 58-note keyboards and a 27-note straight pedalboard.
