Origin and history

The caves of Sainte-Anne-de-Goiron are a natural site classified as a Historical Monument, located in the communes of La Roque-d'Anthéron and Lambesc, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Their official registration by order of 14 May 1937 bears witness to their heritage value recognized by the authorities. The precise location of the site remains approximate, with a map accuracy estimated at 5/10 according to available data.

This type of troglodytic monument or built cave was often associated, in the Mediterranean regions, with various uses: refuges, places of worship, or storage spaces. In Provence, caves were able to play a role in the daily life of local communities, including as natural shelters or sites linked to religious traditions, as suggested by the name Sainte-Anne.

Practical information on public access (visits, services) is not specified in the available sources. The site falls under the code Insee 13084, attached to the arrondissement of Marseille and to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. No mention of specific historical events or characters related to these caves is documented in the data consulted.
