Origin and history

The church Saint-Benoît des Canourgues is a religious monument located in the commune of Salon-de-Provence, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its date of foundation or the circumstances of its construction. His name evokes a possible affiliation to the Benedictine order, but there is no historical information to confirm this hypothesis.

In the Provençal context, local churches played a central role in community life, serving as places of worship, gathering and identity marker. Salon-de-Provence, a city with a rich history, had several religious buildings reflecting the importance of faith and traditions in the daily lives of the inhabitants.
