Description

Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) More fortress than palace, this mighty landmark looms above Avignon. The square in front is the impressive setting for the Avignon Festival. Built for popes who decamped from Rome to Avignon in the 14th century, it combines two structures – the austere 'Old Palace' and the extravagantly gothic 'New Palace'.
