San Roque Church

Built in 18^th century.  Gutted by fire in 1901. It has been enlarged and remodeled several times.

Sadly its been almost 20 years that it has been undergoing renovation. The 17^th century icon of the Blessed Virgin of Solitude of Porta Vaga is enshrined here.

I miss the old church whose floors should have just been elevated and the altar remodeled rather than destroying the whole structure even without sufficient funds to build a very high structure that is no way suitable in its location. Another thing I can’t understand how come the altar seems to be in the last to be constructed while the convent was the first they finished.
