Église Saint Pierre, Gothic minor basilica in Avignon, France
The Saint Pierre Church exhibits French Gothic architecture with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and a monumental four-meter-high walnut entrance door with intricate carvings.
Cardinal Pierre de Près funded the reconstruction of the church in 1385, during a period when Avignon held significant religious and political influence.
The interior houses numerous artworks, including the Adoration of the Shepherds by Simon de Chalons and the Entombment of the Galliens family from 1431.
The basilica stands in central Avignon near Place Saint Pierre, marked by cobblestone pavement and surrounded by multiple historical landmarks.
The doors feature relief figures beneath three-dimensional arches, commissioned to woodworker Antoine Volard for 60 gold crowns from merchant Michel Lopis.
