The Church of Saint Roch ((イタリア語:Chiesa di San Rocco)) is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to Saint Roch in Venice, northern Italy. It was built between 1489 and 1508 by Bartolomeo Bon the Younger, but was substantially altered in 1725. The façade dates from 1765 to 1771, and was designed by Bernardino Maccarucci. The church is one of the Plague-churches built in Venice. St. Roch, whose relics rest in the church after their transfer from Voghera (trad. Montpellier), was declared a patron saint of the city in 1576. Every year, on his feast day (16 August), the Doge made a pilgrimage to the church. Near the church is the ''Scuola Grande di San Rocco'', noted for its numerous Tintoretto paintings. It was founded in the 15th century as a confraternity to assist the citizens in time of plague. ==Artworks== The church interior is notable for its Tintoretto paintings including: *''Annunciation'' and ''St Roch presented to the Pope'' on west wall. *''St. Roch taken to Prison'' (attributed) and ''The Pool of Bethesda'' on south wall of the nave. *''St. Roch curing the plague victims'', ''St. Roch comforted by an Angel'', ''St. Roch in Solitude'' and ''St. Roch healing the Animals'' (attributed) in chancel. *''St. Christopher'' and ''St Martin on Horseback'' by Pordenone hang on north wall of the nave. Also present are a monument to Pellegrino Baselli Grillo (1517) and a statue of St. Roch by Bartolomeo Bon.
