Hall Fonseca

I mentioned in the previous article devoted to the old clinic doctor Reboul ( here) , his neighbor, the CCAS of the city of Avignon. The building sold in 2009, is also under construction and will be converted into private housing. This former private mansion is named after the family of Portuguese origin who acquired the seventeenth century when P eter Paul Fonseca married to Miss Fogasses of Féléon. (Joseph Girard - Evocation of Old Avigno n).

Hotel de Fonseca work, as it stands beside St Catherine Street,
left the future residence hall.

Acquired by the city it was transformed in the nineteenth century charity office, then the center of social works. A major restoration carried out in the 1920s helped to update the remains of the fourteenth and fifteenth masked by the transformations of the seventeenth and eighteenth, and especially in the inner courtyard:

In February 2009, the CCAS still occupies the premises

can see here the medieval well, mullioned windows and walled openings including doors leading to the vacuum, due to changes in indoor levels. This restaurant has unfortunately also removed the paintings that adorned the ceiling of the hall.
These two photographs show a house much altered and degraded by all the same amenities made inside and outside, by converting into private mansion in the fashion of seventeenth (classical facade) and then by setting up offices in the nineteenth.
is a mission of County Archaeological Service has been tasked to find and allocate the pieces to different centuries in this giant puzzle. The content of his findings will undoubtedly be a detailed report. According to this service, here is what should look like the palace which stood here in the Middle Ages:

An imposing aristocratic palace was built from the fourteenth century, notably by rector of Vaison in Vaucluse, Aymar de Poitiers- Valentino, who made such raise the frontage to the site of the Three Pilate (rear of picture) and was to be as high as that of the livery Ceccano (current library).

The beautification continued in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the rescue work of archaeologists led the release of remains these periods inside. These remains will they be highlighted in future private apartments? I have no answer, which I know is that it is now impossible to see.

PS. I give the details here are primarily from notes taken during the lecture in September this year as part days of "Medieval Carmelite" organized by the neighborhood association of the Carmelites. If there are errors, they engage only me ...
