The Church of San Rocco in Orsogna is a modern structure, rebuilt after being destroyed during the bombings of 1944-1945 in World War II. The design follows a stylized Apulian Romanesque style, with a semi-circular arched portal adorned by a mosaic of San Rocco. Inside, the single nave features a statue of San Rocco, carried in a solemn procession every August 16, and a painting of the saint in ecstasy by Ettore Bravo. It also houses modern statues of St. Michael and the Virgin, along with a 17th-century silver processional cross. The original church, dating from the 15th century, was renovated in the 17th century and again in 1882 by Filippo Santoleri, featuring a baroque design, an elegant portico, and a pyramidal bell tower. After suffering major war damage, the church was entirely rebuilt in 1950, preserving few elements of its original form.
