Origin and history

The building located in Avignon, at the 24th wharf of La Ligne, is a historical monument whose protection was formalized by a decree of 1 February 1934, specifically covering its facade and roof. This building, which has now disappeared, was located in an area close to the city walls, an area marked by major urban transformations.

The destruction of the building is directly linked to the work to clear the ramparts of Avignon, an operation that changed the city's architectural landscape. The remains or traces of this building are now limited to archives and its mention in the Merimée base, with an approximate location reported at 58 boulevard de la Ligne. Geographical accuracy remains poor, reflecting the difficulties of exact location after its disappearance.

Ranked as a Historic Monument, this building illustrates the urban evolution of Avignon, where ancient buildings have often given way to modern developments. Its inscription in 1934 bears witness to its recognized heritage value, despite its subsequent destruction. Available sources, such as Monumentum, confirm its status but do not provide details of its original use or precise architecture.
