Piazza Roma in Montescaglioso is a vibrant and historic square that serves as the heart of the town. Located in the central area, and is surrounded by a blend of historic buildings, including the obelisk of San Rocco and the Church of San Rocco dating back to the 16th century. It is located in an area where ancient Greek tombs were discovered in the 18th century. At that time, the building was located outside the town center, and it is therefore possible that the surrounding land was used as a cemetery. It has a rectangular plan, and the façade is crowned by a bell tower. It houses the statue of San Rocco, proclaimed patron saint of Montescaglioso in 1684, as well as 17th- and 18th-century oil paintings. The church was damaged by the 1827 earthquake and subsequently restored with the construction of stone vaults and a new façade.
