Origin and history

The Saint-Roman Chapel of Seillans, located in the village of the same name, is a 12th century religious monument. This building, typical of Provencal Romanesque architecture, was included in the inventory of Historical Monuments by order of 26 January 1978. Its exact location, in the department of Var (region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), is documented in the Merimée database under the code Insee 83124, although the accuracy of its geographical location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10).

Available sources, including Monumentum, indicate that the Saint-Roman chapel is a protected part of the local heritage, identified under cadastre Y 66. No additional information is provided on its specific history, its founders, or its detailed use throughout the centuries. The lack of precise data on his current status or modalities of visits limits his understanding of his contemporary role.

The twelfth century in Provence was marked by intense religious and architectural activity, with the construction of many Romanesque buildings. Chapels like Saint-Romain often served as places of worship for rural communities, reflecting both medieval piety and social organization around parishes. Their preservation today demonstrates the importance attached to this heritage by successive generations.
