House with a facade covered with stones in the shape of diamond points that housed annual temporary exhibitions
This former 16th-century building, whose facade is covered with diamond-shaped stones (hence the name!), used to host annual temporary exhibitions. An aesthetic curiosity of modern Provence, the building has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1925. The furniture and objets d'art date from the First and Second Empires. The house is said to have been built in 1570 by Pierre Gardiolle, a merchant of Catalan origin who made his fortune trading with the Levant. After housing large families, Italian immigrants and port workers moved in at the end of the 19th century. Today, it is mainly visible from the outside.

Les maisons en diamant me fascinent toujours
oui à Ferrare il y en a un autre dédié aux spectacles. Celui-ci est plus petit et habité donc on ne peut emprunter que l'escalier qui regorge cependant de stucs très variés basés sur l'escalier lui-même. Visiter!

J'ai eu de la chance, une classe de scolaire était là et la porte était ouverte, j'en ai profité pour voir l'escalier intérieur, effectivement très beau ! si vous en avez l'occasion, entrez ! Dommage que ça soit si peu accessible au public.

The house with its facade looks like the facets of diamonds cut near the City Hall, and only the staircase during the Heritage Days can be admired. Very beautiful but really open. That is a pity.
