Remparts d'Avignon
The city walls of Avignon, an impressive fortress-like structure, encircle the heart of this historic town, offering a glimpse into its past as a powerful medieval city. Built in the 14th century during the time when Avignon was the seat of the Papacy, the walls stretch over 4.3 kilometers and are punctuated by 39 watchtowers and seven gates. These fortifications were designed to protect the papal residence and its inhabitants. Today, visitors can walk along sections of the walls for stunning views of the city and the surrounding countryside, experiencing firsthand the strength and grandeur of Avignon's medieval defenses.
Musee Lapidaire
Musée Lapidaire, located in Avignon, is a treasure trove of ancient art and archaeology. Housed in a former 17th-century Jesuit church, the museum's stark architectural beauty complements its collection of classical antiquities. The exhibits include Roman sculptures, Greek and Egyptian artifacts, and intricate mosaics, offering a fascinating window into the ancient Mediterranean world. The museum’s serene and contemplative atmosphere allows visitors to immerse themselves in the history and artistry of these ancient civilizations, making it a hidden gem for lovers of archaeology and history.
Temple Saint Martial
