Famous Landmarks
Papal Palace
43.9493°N, 4.8055°E
The Papal Palace, the largest Gothic palace in the world with 15,000 m² of floor space, was the residence of the popes from 1309 to 1377. Its 5-meter-thick walls, towers rising to 50 meters, and Italian frescoes attest to the power of the Avignon papacy. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Bridge of Avignon
43.9493°N, 4.8055°E
The Pont Saint-Bénézet, the famous 'bridge of Avignon' from the children's song, was built in the 12th century and originally had 22 arches spanning 900 meters across the Rhône. Successive floods left only 4 arches and the Chapel of Saint Nicholas. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is a universal symbol of Avignon.
Rocher des Doms

The Rocher des Doms is a 30-meter rocky spur overlooking the Rhône north of the Papal Palace. This public garden offers spectacular views of the bridge of Avignon, Mont Ventoux, and the Alpilles. Inhabited since the Neolithic era, it is Avignon's historic birthplace and one of Provence's finest viewpoints.
