History

The name of Roccapalumba means "Cliff of doves", perhaps for the height of the place where the small town rises. The original agricultural colony was founded about the year 1640 on the feud of Palumba by the princes Ansalone. The Parish Church was built in the 17th century and completely rebuilt after an earthquake in 1823.

In 1714, the Prince of Larderia, Don Francesco Moncada, acquired and held the feud until the territory was made official as an inhabited centre (town). During the 18th century the feudal village under the Larderia family had a period of particular growth, both agricultural and territorial.

Among its monuments there are the Cathedral Church of the XVIII in late baroque style and the Santuario della Madonna della Luce (Sanctuary of Our Lady of Light).
