Origin and history

The Bibost cemetery, located in the Rhône department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, dates back to the 15th century. This funeral place is marked by the presence of a classified cross, called the cross of Saint-Roch, protected by ministerial decree in 1928. The building, owned by the municipality, illustrates the importance of religious symbols in medieval and post-medieval public spaces.

The location of the cemetery, reported as approximate (accuracy noted 5/10), is located near the Chemin de la Chapelle in Bibost. Although available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not detail its exact use throughout the centuries, its partial ranking underscores its heritage value. Medieval cemeteries often served as community gathering places, combining funeral and religious functions.

No information is provided on any historical characters related to this site, nor on any specific events taking place there. The cross of Saint-Roch, a protected element, might evoke practices of local devotion, but the accessible archives do not specify its origin or its exact role in the life of the parish.
