San Rocco, Rome, Neoclassical church near Augustus Mausoleum in Rome, Italy
The church features a symmetrical facade with classical elements, three chapels on each side, and houses an ornate carved organ case from the 18th century.
Construction began in 1499 following Pope Alexander VI's decree to build a hospital for plague sufferers, with the church undergoing reconstruction in 1657 by architect Giovan Antonio de' Rossi.
The interior displays notable artworks including The Apotheosis of St Roch altarpiece by Giacinto Brandi and frescoes by Baldassare Peruzzi depicting religious themes.
The church stands at 1 Largo San Rocco in Rome, maintaining its original structure despite the removal of its bell tower during Augustus Mausoleum excavations.
An ancient Roman obelisk was discovered at the site in 1527, marking a connection between the church grounds and the archaeological history of Rome.
