Building of this church in the second half of the 16th century by the only access to Lastovo town from the coast was motivated by the fear from the plaque. Since it also made the local people’s main meeting place, a stone bench was built for them to rest as well. In the early 17th century, the Fraternity of st.Roch ordered a wooden altar, that was replaced with the stone altar from the church of Our Lady in the field in 1913.
During summer, St.Roch become the small art gallery with various exhibitions.
Taxi service is available from 0-24 calling the provider.
Lokacija
Mjesto Lastovo staro je srednjovjekovno naselje amfiteatralnog oblika s dugom i zanimljivom poviješću. Jedino je naselje na otoku koje se ne nalazi neposredno uz more. Okruženo je brdima, a na svakom od njih je vidikovac s kojeg se pruža pogled na mjesto i okolna polja. Obiteljske kuće iz 15. i 16. stoljeća krase lastovski “sulari” (terase) i bogato ukrašeni “fumari” (dimnjaci) koji su postali zaštitni znak Lastova. Lastovske skalinade (kamene stepenice) obavijaju staru jezgru oko crkve i šire se te obogaćuju poseban mediteranski ugođaj.
