San Rocco, Baroque church in Parma, Italy.
The Chiesa di San Rocco stands in Strada dell'Università with a 50-meter bell tower and an elaborately decorated stone facade from the 18th century.
Construction began in 1528 as a response to a plague epidemic, and the Jesuits took control in 1564, leading to its complete reconstruction between 1737 and 1750.
The main altar features a statue of Saint Roch healing plague victims, created by Francesco Scaramuzza in 1831, representing the church's connection to health protection.
Located near the University of Parma, the church contains multiple chapels with artworks by Pietro Rotari, Lionello Spada, and other Italian painters.
The church houses a pipe organ built in 1754 by Bernardo Poncini and Antonio Negri-Poncini, positioned above a gilded choir gallery.
