Origin and history

The former church of Saint-Jean-Bosco de Romans-sur-Isère is a religious monument located in the commune of Romans-sur-Isère. This place of worship, whose exact period of construction or use is not specified in the available sources, is named Jean Bosco, an Italian teacher of the nineteenth century canonized. The churches dedicated to Saint John Bosco, often built in the 20th century, generally reflect the urban expansion and changing spiritual needs of local populations.

In Romans-sur-Isère, a city marked by industrial and artisanal history, especially in footwear and silk, religious buildings played a central role in community life. They served as gathering points for the faithful, while embodying the social and architectural transformations of their time.
