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. The panorama from the top is exceptional. As you can see, to enjoy the view, you'll have to climb the many steps, and you won't be disappointed. A permanent exhibition, "Mémoires de tour", takes you on a journey through history.
