Chapelle Saint-Louis

In 1589, a novitiate of the Society of Jesus was founded twenty-five years after the congregation's establishment in Avignon. Construction of the chapel began in 1601, and the consecration took place ten years later. The Jesuit architect Etienne Martelange is said to have provided the plans. This construction introduced a new aesthetic from Italy to a city dominated by medieval architecture, notably with a dome overlooking the central part of the church.

Open Sunday from 17 p.m. to 18:30 p.m.
