Santuario di San Rocco, Catholic shrine in Roccamontepiano, Italy
The Santuario di San Rocco features three identical portals leading to three naves, with white travertine cladding and local pietra riccia stone construction.
Following a devastating landslide in 1765 that destroyed the original Baroque church, the current sanctuary was reconstructed during the 1950s using remnants of the old structure.
On August 16, thousands of visitors gather at the sanctuary to collect sacred water, believed to possess healing properties, during the feast days of Saint Rocco.
The sanctuary includes an underground passage leading to a miraculous grotto, while a Via Crucis path runs along the rocky slopes beside the building.
The sanctuary walls display frescoes by local artists, and ceramic jugs featuring Saint Rocco illustrations are sold during religious celebrations.
