Origin and history

The building at 9 Espariat Street in Aix-en-Provence is an iconic building integrated with the architectural complex of Place d'Albertas. This monument is part of the protected buildings as part of the preservation of this historic square, recognized for its stylistic unity and heritage importance in the city. Its facades and roofs, giving both the square and the street Espariat, were classified as historical monuments by a decree dated 21 July 2000.

The Place d'Albertas, of which this building is a constituent element, is a remarkable example of 18th-century Provencal Baroque urbanism. Although the details of the initial construction of the building are not specified in the sources, its inclusion in the protected perimeter demonstrates its role in the architectural coherence of this space. The 2000 legal protection aims to preserve the visual and historical integrity of this complex, reflecting the importance attached to the built heritage of Aix.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, point out that this building is part of a larger set of buildings forming Alberta Square, without providing additional information on its specific history, past occupants or major transformations. The exact location, confirmed by the Mérimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the building in the heart of Aix-en-Provence, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
