Origin and history
Saint Vincent Romanesque chapel, located in Roquevaire in the Bouches-du-Rhône, dates from the 12th century. This monument, classified by ministerial decree on December 6, 1990, includes in its protection the entire plot on which it stands. It is a communal property and bears witness to the importance of medieval religious heritage in this Provençal region.
The location of the chapel, although documented (address: 6628 Saint Vincent, 13360 Roquevaire), remains approximate according to available sources, with an estimated accuracy of 5/10. This building, typical of Romanesque art, is part of a historical context where rural chapels played a central role in the spiritual and community life of villages. Their construction in the 12th century coincided with a period of development of ecclesiastical structures in Provence, marked by the influence of monastic orders and the affirmation of episcopal power.
The sources mention that the chapel is referenced in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 13086, attached to the commune of Roquevaire. No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, rentals, or accommodation). Its classification as Historic Monument underlines its heritage value, while ensuring its preservation for future generations. The data comes mainly from the Monumentum platform and from internal sources, without further details on its history or possible architectural transformations.
