Saint-Didier, Gothic church in Avignon, France
The Saint-Didier church features a southern Gothic architectural design with high ceilings, stone walls, and carefully planned structural elements throughout the building.
Cardinal Bertrand de Deaux commissioned the construction of this church in 1355, leading to its completion and consecration in September 1359.
The church contains two paintings by Simon de Chalons and houses the Cross Bearing relief, which marks early Renaissance art in French religious structures.
The church welcomes visitors from Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Four stone masons constructed this church under the direction of Jaume Alasaud, a master builder from Avignon, completing it in three years.
