Origin and history

The house in Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, is a historical monument whose protected element is a corner niche adorned with a statuette of the Virgin. This niche was listed by ministerial decree on September 3, 1927, which gave the building official heritage recognition. The precise address, 71 Augustin-Tardieu Street, places the building in a central district of the city, although the GPS location is considered of poor accuracy (note of 5/10).

Arles, the emblematic city of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is marked by a rich historical past, mixing Roman, medieval and modern influences. Old houses, like this one, often bear witness to popular devotion and local civil architecture. Their preservation, even partial (like this niche), illustrates the attention paid to religious and urban heritage in an area where the traditional building plays a strong identity role.

Monuments of this type, though discreet, contribute to the collective memory and historical Arlesian landscape.
