Eglise Saint-Symphorien les Carmes, Place des Carmes, 84000 Avignon
Church of the former convent of the Carmes, rebuilt between 1320 and 1520. The generous dimensions and solemn appearance reflect the values of the begging orders.
The Carmes fathers settled here in the second half of the 1200's. This location at the time was outside of the walls of the city, near the gate "Portail desInfirmières". The church was rebuilt during the papacy, a vast nave lined with side chapels was added and consecrated in 1520. The magnificent convent buildings were destroyed during the French Revolution. However some of the vestiges have been integrated into the more recent constructions. In 1803, the church was named the parish church of Saint-Symphorien. Many works of art: sculptures, paintings, gilded wooden altar.
