The Chapel of San Rocco in Surano was inaugurated and opened for worship in 1949. It was built adjacent to the ancient chapel dedicated to San Giovanni Battista. It features a simple double-sloped facade, with an entrance portal, a circular window, and a niche containing the image of San Rocco.\n\nThe interior has a single nave with a polygonal apse. From the chapel, you can access the crypt below, entirely hewn from the rock. Square in plan, it is divided into two sections by two pillars that support the vault. The date 1571 is carved into one wall. Traces of paintings and a fresco depicting San Giovanni Battista have been preserved.
