Corner tower: inscription by decree of 28 October 1949

Origin and history

The Casal House is a historic monument located in the city of Avignon, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This building is distinguished in particular by its corner tower, which has been officially protected by registration under the Historical Monuments. The decree of 28 October 1949 marks this heritage recognition, stressing its local architectural or historical importance.

The location of Casal House, at 6 rue Joseph-Vernet, places this monument in an emblematic area of Avignon, a city known for its rich medieval and reborn heritage. Although the available information does not specify its original use or its detailed history, this type of corner house was often associated, in this region, with urban residences of notables or minor defensive functions. These buildings reflected the social status of their owners and helped structure urban space over the centuries.

Current data do not accurately trace the construction stages, the successive owners or the major transformations of Casal House. However, its inscription in 1949 showed the desire to preserve a representative element of the Avignon building in a post-war period when heritage protection became a national priority. Approximate location and practical information, such as the absence of a public opening, suggest that this monument remains primarily an element of the urban landscape, rather than a major tourist site.
