House of the seventeenth century (Box K 90): inscription by decree of 6 November 1942
Origin and history
The 17th century House, located in Tarascon in the Bouches-du-Rhône, is an example of civil architecture of the classical period. This monument, inscribed by ministerial decree in 1942, is distinguished by its location in the city centre, between Place Sainte-Marthe and Rue du Collège. Its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance, although precise architectural details are not described in the available sources.
In the 17th century, Tarascon was a dynamic city of Provence, marked by commercial and craft activities. The bourgeois houses of that time often reflected local prosperity, serving both as a residence and a place of work for wealthy families. This type of building was involved in structuring the urban fabric, while at the same time showing regional stylistic influences, mixing tradition and late Renaissance innovations.
The protection of this monument in 1942 is part of a desire to preserve this heritage representative of Provencal history.
