Origin and history

The church Sainte-Anne de Granile is a religious monument located in the commune of Tende, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The available sources do not specify its time of construction or its detailed architectural characteristics, thus limiting the understanding of its historical evolution. Churches of this type, often at the heart of provencal or alpine villages, played a central role in community life.

They served as a place of worship, but also as a gathering for local festivals and collective decisions. In mountainous areas like Tende, these buildings also reflected the varied cultural and religious influences, marked by proximity to Italy.
