Origin and history

The building located at 2 rue Dorée in Avignon is a monument inscribed in the Historical Monuments for its Gothic ceiling. This architectural vestige, dating from an indeterminate period but typical of the late medieval style, was protected by ministerial decree in 1977. The inscription refers specifically to the ceiling of the vestibule, identified under the cadastral reference DI 466.

Avignon, the emblematic city of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, concentrates a rich built heritage, marked by its medieval history and its role as a papal city. The Gothic buildings, like this one, illustrate the artistic and cultural influence of this period. Their preservation makes it possible to understand urban evolution and construction techniques between the Middle Ages and later periods.

The location of the building in the department of Vaucluse is documented with average accuracy (level 5/10 according to the Merimée base). Although the sources do not detail its historical use, this type of building could serve as a bourgeois residence, a place of commerce or reception, reflecting the social diversity of Avignon throughout the centuries.
