Avignon: Must-See Landmarks

Avignon’s historic center is defined by its 14th-century role as the seat of the Papacy. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Palais des Papes and the Romanesque Cathédrale Notre-Dame-des-Doms. The medieval Pont Saint-Bénezet spans the Rhône, while intact 14th-century city walls enclose narrow streets like the Rue des Teinturiers. Key landmarks include the Gothic Basilique Saint-Pierre, the Baroque Chapelle des Pénitents Noirs, and the Halles d'Avignon market with its distinctive botanical facade.
