The only vestige of a fortress built between 1292 and 1307, a three-storey tower with beautiful rib-vaulted rooms.
This tower stood at the end of the Pont Bénézet. A veritable sentinel at the entrance to the town, it is the only vestige of a fortress built in 1292 on the orders of Philippe IV le Bel, anxious to keep Avignon in check. The three-storey structure features beautiful rib-vaulted rooms. A watchtower was added in the 15th century. From the top, you can enjoy an exceptional panoramic view of the Rhône. You'll have to climb the many steps to enjoy the view, but you won't be disappointed. A permanent exhibition takes you on a journey through history.
