Abbaye Saint-Laurent d'Avignon, Medieval Benedictine abbey in Avignon, France
The Saint-Laurent Abbey features both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with stone walls and a traditional monastery layout including a church and cloister.
Founded in the late 11th century, the abbey moved from Caumont-sur-Durance to Avignon, receiving buildings from the Albano legacy in 1363.
The abbey maintained a significant presence of Benedictine nuns who influenced the religious and social development of medieval Avignon through their activities.
Visitors can explore the remaining structures of the abbey during guided tours, which present the architectural and historical elements of this religious complex.
The monastery received protection from the Notre-Dame des Doms chapter, which granted them the Saint-Laurent church during their relocation to Avignon.
