Church and oratory of San Rocco

The church of San Rocco was built by the Compagnia del Crocifisso in 1554. It is a simple church with a single nave. The high altar in carved wood houses a remarkable 13th century wooden sculpture depicting Christ deposed by the Cross. The church is connected by a staircase with the Oratory of the Compagnia del Crocifisso, with frescoes made by brothers Alessandro, Cherubino and Giovanni Alberti between 1587 and 1588 and an interesting copy of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem, made of sandstone in 1629. Today day is the seat of the Confraternity of Mercy of Sansepolcro.
