San ROCCO was chosen as the patron saint for this church and the corresponding parish. Saint Roch was born in the middle of the 14th century in Montpellier, France. He is popularly regarded as the "plague saint" - alongside Saint Sebastian. A characteristic feature of Roch's depiction in paintings and as a statue is that he is usually pointing to a plague boil on his leg; a dog can also often be seen at his feet, because according to legend, when he was caring for plague victims, he himself became ill and withdrew into solitude, and the dog provided him with bread every day. The memorial day of San Rocco in the calendar of saints is August 16th.

The village of Castel di Tora is among the most beautiful and evocative of the Rieti area and Sabina. It is completely perched on a promontory and for this reason it offers a special view of the Turano lake, without having to climb the peaks of the nearby Navegna and Cervia mountains. In winter it is almost completely unpopulated, while in summer it welcomes the numerous Roman holidaymakers who seek refreshment along the lake shores.

This stretch of path is shared between the Natural Path of the Parks and the path of San Benedetto. It all runs along a bare crest that offers wide views of the Turano lake. As in the stretch of Pratomele, a large grassy clearing easily accessible from the road and which can be a good destination for a family picnic.
