Facade and roof: inscription by order of 1 February 1934

Origin and history

The building in Avignon, 17 quai de la Ligne, is a historical monument whose protected elements (facade and roof) were inscribed by order of 1 February 1934. This building, which is now extinct, was located in an area marked by the old ramparts of the city, whose clearance led to its destruction. The archives do not specify the date of its construction or its initial use, but its inscription bears witness to its architectural or heritage interest recognized in the early twentieth century.

The destruction of this building is part of a wider urban context, where the transformations of medieval cities such as Avignon in the 20th century have often sacrificed historic buildings to development or modernization projects. The ramparts, symbols of the protection and history of Avignon, have been the subject of redevelopments that may have impacted adjacent buildings. The partial listing of the building (facade and roof) suggests that it had significant architectural features, although available sources do not detail these aspects.
