Home > Tourist information > Historic centre > San Roc church – 18th-19th centuries

The parish of San Roc has its roots in the Muslim community that occupied the Raval neighbourhood in the mid-15th century. Its church was not built until the 19th century, with the exception of the chapel of Christ, which dates back to 1749.

The chapel, a true gem of the Baroque era, was built in the 18th century thanks to parishioners’ donations. Its base is in the shape of a Greek cross and the frescoes inside its domed roof are one of its most striking features. To the right of the church is the Arco del Fossar, an ancient archway that provided access to the Christian cemetery.
