Origin and history

The church Saint-Roch de Collongues is a religious monument located in the village of Collongues, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its date of construction or the circumstances of its foundation. His name suggests a link with Saint Roch, a traditional protector against epidemics, often invoked in Mediterranean regions.

In the villages of Provence, parish churches like Saint-Roch played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, assembly and social organization. These buildings often reflected local history, popular beliefs and the spiritual needs of the inhabitants, in a context marked by agriculture, livestock and regional trade.
