Origin and history

La Maison du 17s., located in Arles in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, is a 17th-century building. This monument is representative of the civil architecture of this period, marked by often decorated facades and local stylistic influences. The house has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1927, a recognition that underscores its historic importance and remarkable state of conservation for the time.

Arles, the historic town of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, was in the 17th century a dynamic economic and cultural crossroads. Bourgeois houses, like this one, reflected the prosperity of their owners, often merchants, notables or wealthy artisans. These homes played a central role in urban life, serving both as a place of residence, social representation and sometimes even as a professional space.

Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the architectural and social evolution of the region.
