The hamlet takes its name from the church dedicated to the Saint, built as a votive offering in 1836 by the inhabitants who survived the terrible cholera epidemic of that year: thanks to the donations of the believers, the alms and the testamentary bequests of the citizens, the work was completed in a short time and the church was blessed in 1856.
Inside it has a single nave, there are the black and white marble altar, the wooden statue depicting St Roch and several paintings including the representation of St Charles between St Peter Martyr and St Alexis.
