Church San Rocco and Santissimo Sacramento

Church San Rocco is located in the center of the village of Casaloldo, next to the parish church, stands at the edge of what was once the district of the well.

Church San Rocco and Santissimo Sacramento, called dei Disciplini, it is probably a building from the 16th century as it was mentioned in 1580, altered during the seventeenth century, given the Baroque façade. Initially the church was the oratory of San Rocco or dei Disciplini, it was not consecrated and it took place only once a month; the nickname “dei Disciplini” derives from the fact that here the “white disciples” gathered together a confraternity that used to inflict penance. The building was probably rebuilt in 1621 on parish grounds, but over time it has undergone some changes in use that have emptied it inside, while outside it has maintained the forms of reconstruction. It is currently deconsecrated.
