The chapel of Triatel, nestled in the stillness of the village bearing the same name, retains an aura of mystery that fascinates anyone approaching it. Its origins are lost in time: there are records of it as early as 1588, when it was dedicated to Saint Theodul, although the exact date of construction remains unknown. Today the chapel is dedicated to Saint Roch, protector against epidemics, testifying to the deep popular faith that has always animated the community.

Ancient tales are passed down around this place, such as the one according to which, for a time, unbaptized children were buried under the floor of the chapel. A detail that speaks of the past, the fragility of life and the search for protection even for those who had not been able to receive the rites of faith. A small, yet highly evocative building.
