Palais des Papes
The Palais des Papes in Avignon is a vast medieval Gothic palace that served as the papal residence and administrative centre during the 14th-century Avignon Papacy. Built as two joined complexes (Palais Vieux and Palais Neuf), it is dominated by massive fortified walls, tall towers and large ceremonial and devotional interiors. Today it is a restored historic monument and museum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As it stood in 1364
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive limestone fortress-palace set on a rocky outcrop above the Rhône, its silhouette dominated by broad, crenelated curtain walls and a sequence of tall, square towers. Pale, weathered ashlar blocks, narrow slit and lancet windows, and projecting battlements give a compact, vertical rhythm; a long, steep-roofed chapel volume rises behind the walls. Rooflines, walkways and enclosed courtyards step down the rock; the whole presents as a fortified, monumental block of light-beige stone against the sky.
