Church of Our Lady of Grace
A deed dated 1139 from Alphonse 1°, Count of Provence, mentions a church named Sainte-Marie-Magdeleine, built against the eastern rampart of the castle.
Chapel of the White Penitents
Built in the 19th century on the site of the original Sainte-Marie-Madeleine church and cemetery, the chapel features a single nave with three bays formed by ashlar double arches, and a small room to the west, probably the sacristy, whose roof has collapsed over the years.
Saint Sauveur or Sainte Marie chapel
The chapel is located on private property.
It was listed as a historic monument on September 28, 1926.
The Romanesque church is a massive structure of very simple design. It comprises a choir closed by a pentagonal apse, a two-bay nave and two side chapels adjoining the south side of the nave.
Saint-Vérédème chapel
Located in the landscaped cemetery of Eyguières, this secondary chapel, dedicated to Saint-Vérédème, was apparently built on the remains of an ancient edifice.
The Romanesque-style chapel, dating from the 11th century, is oriented towards the east. To the west of the chapel is a building that probably served as the janitor's lodge.
Chapel of Saint Pierre de Vence
The chapel, probably built in the late 11th century, has been regularly restored. The façade appears to date from the 18th century.
The interior is a simple barrel-vaulted nave.
The choir is a "cul de four" apse. No decorative elements are visible. The walls are plastered.
Saint Roch Chapel
This is a simple, single-nave church, with an apse to the north. The entire structure is 10.60 m wide and 12.50 m long, following a north-south axis.
While the plague of 1720 struck Provence, claiming many victims, the contagion spared the village of Eyguières.
Chapelle Notre -Dame- Des-Anges
Remains of the Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel still stand on a rocky knoll in the Cadenières district. The rock, known as safre stone, was reworked to support the building, erected around the 10th-11th centuries.
Saint Eloi Chapel
The chapel, built by the Confrérie de Saint-Éloi, was located at the junction of Avenue de la Gare and the ancient road from Arles to Salon (or the ancient Gallo-Roman road), now Avenue Cassin.
