Church of Saint Roch

Church of St. Rocco
Greece, Chania
A small church in honor of St. Rocco (or Roch), built in 1630 and located in the Old Town of Chania - on Splandzia Square. The well-preserved religious building is a Venetian-style basilica with arched windows. Apparently, the temple was built after the plague in the city, since St. Rocco is considered the patron saint of plague and cholera patients.

In Splantsia Square, near the Church of St. Nicholas, there is a small, neat, well-preserved building - the Church of St. Roch (or Rocco). The church is built in the form of a basilica in the Venetian style, with elongated arched windows and pediments above the entrances. The temple was probably built after the plague, because St. Roch was considered a protector against this terrible disease. The Latin inscription on the wall of the temple contains the date - 1630.
