Origin and history

The church Saint-Joseph des Lattes is a religious monument located in the commune of Saint-Auban, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its architectural style, but its name suggests a dedication to Saint Joseph, the central figure of Christianity. Churches dedicated to Saint Joseph multiply in France from the seventeenth century onwards, often linked to contexts of popular devotion or reconstruction after crises.

In Saint-Auban, as in many rural communes in Provence, these buildings served as a community gathering place, marking the social and spiritual life of the inhabitants. Their presence generally reflects the importance of the Catholic faith in the local organization, although the archives specific to this monument are lacking.
