Niche with statue of the Virgin: inscription by decree of 4 October 1932

Origin and history

The house located at 11 rue Banasterie in Avignon is a 17th century monument, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by a niche decorated with a statue of the Virgin, an architectural and religious element remarkable for the period. This type of decoration reflects the influence of the Counter-Reform and Marian devotion, common in southern France at that time.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was specifically protected by order of 4 October 1932, concerning only the niche and its statue. This preservation measure reflects the heritage value of this element, although information about its detailed history or occupants remains scarce. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the building in the historic center of Avignon, a city marked by its papal past and its rich heritage.

The location of the house, noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the databases, suggests an approximation in the available coordinates. Despite this, its official address (11 or 13 rue Banasterie) allows it to be located in an emblematic district, close to the city's ramparts and major monuments. No information is available about its access to the public, its current purpose or any services offered (visits, accommodation).
