San
Rocco Church, Lugano Switzerland
The recently restored San Rocco church was built in the 17th century
and features frescos dedicated to the life of Saint Rocco di Montpellier,
who is venerated in the Roman Catholic church as the protector against
the plague and all contagious diseases. Conservation and restoration
work has been ongoing since 1985 to the roof, bell tower and facades,
and the chorus stalls. The residents of Lugano have always considered
the baroque church of Saint Rocco a privileged place of culture and
while it is used for prayer and worship, it is also a place where
locals meet, largely due to its central geographical location within
the city. |
