Origin and history

The Commanderie de Sainte-Luce, located in Arles in the Bouches-du-Rhône, is a monument dating back to the 12th century, with subsequent construction or modification phases in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. This site, classified as Historic Monument since 1977, illustrates architecture related to religious-military orders, probably Hospitallers or Templars, although this affiliation is not explicitly confirmed in available sources. The buildings surrounding the court of honour, protected by decree, reflect this stylistic and functional evolution over centuries.

The official address of the commissionory, 66 rue du Quatre-Septembre, along with its approximate coordinates (11 Rue du Grand Prieuré), suggest a central location in Arles, a city marked by a rich ancient and medieval heritage. However, the accuracy of its geographical location is considered fair (note 5/10), indicating minor uncertainties. Owned by the municipality, the site could have contemporary vocations such as visiting, renting rooms or accommodation, although these uses are not detailed in the sources.

The protected elements, identified under Cadastre AD 117, underline the heritage importance of the site. The mention of a Creative Commons license for associated photos (credit: Finoskov) and its reference in the Merimée database confirm its documented status. No information is available on sponsors, milestone events or historical characters related to this monument in the data provided.
