Tips

Unlike the other three churches in the old village, the Church of Saint Roch, located in the square of the same name at the foot of Celleno Castle, is still used for worship. This 16th-century church named after Saint Roch, a saint with thaumaturgic powers, was built to protect the population from plague. It is characterized by a beautiful portal in peperino (brown or gray volcanic tuff) where you will see the coat of arms of the Orsini family, some relevant fragments of Renaissance frescoes and a beautiful altar with a wooden crucifix. With a wealth of ornaments, figures and gilding, the altar is a unique example of Baroque art. Although tradition holds that the ancient, moving, 1.7-meter-high, wooden crucifix belongs to the Donatello school, its age is still a controversial issue.
