The little church of St Roch is situated above Supetar, on the road towards Nerežišća on Brač, and a monumental staircase leads up to it.
According to the inscription, the Tironi family built it in the first half of the 17th century. The climb to it gives a view of Supetar and the sea below. It is a small single-nave building with a square apse, built of rubble stone and covered with a gabled roof of stone slabs. Inside is a flat ceiling. The little church is modest in size and ornament, but the staircase by which it is approached gives it a dignified appearance. Such chapels of St Roch in Dalmatia were often built as a vow to the protector against the plague.
The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-1436.
