Origin and history

La Maison des Amazones is a historical monument located in Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its construction period is not specified in available sources, its designation as Historic Monuments in 1932 underscores its heritage importance. The facades of the building are the only elements protected by this decree, suggesting a particular architectural or historical value.

Arles, a city marked by its Roman and medieval past, has many buildings bearing witness to its rich heritage. The Amazon House is part of this urban context, where civilian construction plays a central role in local life. In modern times, bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, often reflect the social and economic evolution of the region, linked to the dominant commercial, artisanal or agricultural activities in Provence.

Their preservation makes it possible to understand the lifestyles and spatial organization of Provencal cities throughout the centuries.
