CHURCH OF SAN ROCCO
The Brotherhood of San Rocco built this temple in 1569, but it was completed only in the 17th century. In 1934 the Bagnaia community decided to restore the temple to turn it into War Memorial.

In 1580 the Brotherhood laid the first stone for the construction of the oratory outside of the village, and a few years later, in 1587, decided to build a church above the oratory.
On September 21, 1640, at the request of the Capuchian friars, the City Hall of Bagnaia gave a “small site” where the friars could erect a small church dedicated to the Madonna. It was located along the road (now a small walkway), which at one time connected Bagnaia to the convent of the Capuchian fathers of Monte Sant’Angelo of Palanzana.
The first reliable information about the Church of San Marco dates back to the pastoral visit of Monsignor Alfonso Binarino in January 1574, but the iconographic line and structure of the preserved frescoes inside can be relate to 15th, early 16th century.
The Brotherhood of Sant’Antonio Abate, gave birth to the church of the same name, with the laying of the foundation stone blessed by Cardinal Giovan Francesco Gambara, on 15 of December 1575.
With a resolution dated 23 October 1616 the Priors of Bagnaia dedicated the Church to the Madonna della Porta.
On November 1, 1611, upon the completion of work, the Brotherhood gave the church to the Bagnaia community, and from that moment it was the religious center of the town.
Traced back to the early ‘500 with the name of San Sebastiano, the church was dedicated to and renamed for San Carlo in the 1770s.
The Church of Santo Stefano, according to sources from 1335, was the seat of the Disciplinatrici, the women’s section of the Brotherhood of the Disciplinati di Bagnaia.
