Religious Heritage of Provence

Provence’s religious landscape is defined by its architectural diversity, ranging from the austere 12th-century Cistercian "Three Sisters of Provence"—Sénanque and Silvacane—to the grand Romanesque portals of St. Trophime in Arles. Significant sites include the fortified Benedictine Montmajour Abbey and the Gothic masterpieces of Avignon. These cathedrals and monasteries showcase centuries of evolution, from early Romanesque structures to Renaissance additions, often built upon Roman foundations or integrated into medieval defensive walls.
