Origin and history

The building located in Avignon, in the department of Vaucluse (region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), is a historical monument whose protected elements – facade and roof – were inscribed by ministerial decree on 1 February 1934. Its official address, 16 quay of the Line, corresponds to an area close to the old city walls, now partially modified or disappeared.

This building was destroyed during operations to clear the ramparts of Avignon, urban works probably aimed at modernizing or securing this strategic area of the city. The available sources (in particular Monumentum) do not specify the exact date of its destruction, but it is linked to developments affecting the local architectural heritage. No information is provided on its initial use or social importance.

The location of the building, at the intersection of the 16 wharf of the Line and 58 boulevard de la Ligne, suggests a proximity to the historical defensive infrastructures of Avignon. The GPS coordinates and approximate address indicate a changing area, where the medieval or ancient structure was able to give way to subsequent urban projects. The accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), reflecting documentary uncertainties.
