Heritage classified

Origin and history

The building located in Avignon, in the department of Vaucluse, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Although its exact construction period is not specified in available sources, its classification in 1949 underscores its heritage importance. Protected elements specifically include facades and roofs, reflecting a particular architectural or historical interest.

The building is located in 2 Place de la Principale, a central location in the city of Avignon, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This area, marked by a rich medieval and reborn history, is home to many heritage buildings. The building is thus part of an urban fabric where civil architecture plays a key role, both in housing and in commercial or administrative activities at the time. Constructions of this type were often linked to the economic and cultural development of Provencal cities, especially from the late Middle Ages and during modern times.

The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as fair (note of 5/10), suggesting an approximate identification of its exact location. The GPS coordinates available place the building near Rue Bonneterie, confirming its anchoring in the historic heart of Avignon. No additional information is provided on its past or current use, or on any significant characters or events associated with it.

The 1949 classification, by ministerial decree, attests to the desire to preserve this heritage in the face of the urban transformations of the twentieth century. This type of protection is generally intended to preserve representative elements of local history, whether linked to specific architectural styles, construction techniques or pivotal periods of city development. The absence of details of its origin or occupants, however, limits the understanding of its precise role in the history of Avignon.

Available sources, including the Merimée base and the Monumentum platform, do not provide in-depth contextual elements on this building. Its inclusion in the title of Historical Monuments therefore remains the main indicator of its value, inviting further research to understand its historical and architectural significance. The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the monument, however, facilitates its dissemination and enhancement to the public.
