Pendentif de Valence, Renaissance funerary monument in Valence, France.
The Pendentif features a distinctive architectural vault design with pendentive domes constructed in 1548 within the Saint-Apollinaire Cathedral cloister.
Originally built for the Mistral family, the monument underwent multiple transformations, serving as a shop and kitchen before the city purchased it in 1831.
The monument represents an early example of Renaissance architectural innovation in France, combining traditional vault techniques with modern design principles.
Located at 11 Rue du Clos Gaillard in Valence, visitors can access the monument during heritage days and special cultural events.
The structure displays the first historical instance of continuous pendentive dome construction, where the pendentives merge seamlessly with the cupola.
