Origin and history

The building in Avignon, at the 6th wharf of the Line, is a historical monument whose protected elements (facade and roof) were inscribed by ministerial decree on 1 February 1934. This building, now extinct, was located near the city walls, an area that has undergone major urban transformations.

The destruction of this building is directly linked to the work to clear the ramparts of Avignon, an operation aimed at modernizing or redeveloping the urban space. These ramparts, inherited from the medieval and modern history of the city, have often been modified or partially dismantled to meet the urban needs of the 19th and 20th centuries. The site, located via approximate GPS coordinates (4 Rue Rempart de la Ligne), keeps a trace of this story through its historical address.

The location of the building, noted with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), reflects the challenges of mapping missing monuments. Available sources, such as the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its past existence without providing additional architectural or historical details. However, its registration as Historic Monuments is proof of its heritage value before its destruction.
