Origin and history

The building in Arles, on Place Voltaire and rue Condorcet, dates from the 16th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in the region, although the precise details of its construction or its first occupants are not mentioned in the available sources. Its facades, roofs and screw staircase were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 10 March 1987, highlighting their heritage value.

In the 16th century, Arles, then under Provencal influence, was a dynamic city marked by commercial and cultural exchanges. The buildings of that time often reflected the social status of their owners, with architectural elements such as the staircases in view, typical of bourgeois or aristocratic residences. This type of building played a central role in urban life, hosting both housing and sometimes artisanal or commercial activities.

The location of the building, specified as "passable" (note 5/10) in the Merimée base, corresponds to the current address of Place Voltaire and 18 Place Voltaire, although minor discrepancies may exist between GPS coordinates and administrative data. No information is available on its current accessibility to the public, including visits, room rental or accommodation.
