Origin and history

The church of the Décollation-de-Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Saint-Jean-d'Aigues-Vives is a religious monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the Occitanie region. The available sources do not specify its period of construction or the architectural or historical details that could inform its evolution over the centuries. In rural areas of Occitanie, parish churches like this traditionally played a central role in community life.

They served not only as a place of worship, but also as a gathering point for the inhabitants, often reflecting the social and religious organization of the surrounding villages.
