EDITORS COMMENTS
Avignon, France: A Glimpse into the Past through the Ramparts of the Old Town Step back in time as we explore the enchanting city of Avignon, France, through the lens of a photograph taken in the 1910s. In this image, the Ramparts of Avignon, or Remparts d'Avignon, line the Boulevard St Michel, encircling the ancient heart of this historic town. The Ramparts of Avignon, a testament to medieval architecture, measure an impressive 4.3 kilometres in length and were constructed between 1355 and 1370. These imposing walls, adorned with crenellations, served as a strong defence against invaders during the Middle Ages. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the ramparts, revealing their timeless beauty and the enduring allure of Avignon's rich history. The castle walls, with their distinctive notches, stand tall and proud, evoking images of knights and nobility. Beyond the ramparts, the old town of Avignon unfolds, a picturesque scene of narrow streets, quaint houses, and charming squares. The Palais des Papes, a Gothic masterpiece and the largest gothic fortress in the world, can be seen in the distance, adding to the magical atmosphere of this remarkable place. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era, a time of chivalry, romance, and grandeur. The Ramparts of Avignon, with their unwavering presence, continue to protect and preserve the treasured history of this extraordinary city.
