Ecclesiastical history
Marcellus I, the first known
bishop of Senez, attended the Council of Agde
in 506 CE; nevertheless, Senez must have been an episcopal city as early as 439 CE.
Jean IV Soanen, the Oratorian, noted for his opposition to the Bull "Unigenitus", was Bishop of Senez from 1696 until the time of his deposition in 1727.
By the Concordat of 1801, the
Diocese of Apt
.
In 1822 Gap was made an episcopal see and, thus divested of the department of the Hautes Alpes, the present diocese of Digne covers the territory formerly included in the dioceses of Digne, Senez, Glandèves, Riez, and Sisteron.
