Église Saint-Symphorien d'Avignon
Église Saint-Symphorien d'Avignon, Gothic parish church in central Avignon, France.
The church features a vast nave surrounded by seventeen lateral chapels, with a main door crowned by a rose window on its facade.
The Carmelite fathers established the church in 1267, and its reconstruction occurred between 1320 and 1520 under the guidance of Pope John XXII.
The interior displays numerous artworks, including paintings by Guillaume-Ernest Grève depicting the martyrdom of Saint Symphorien on the church walls.
The church maintains regular mass schedules and confession times, with information available through the Avignon Intramuros parishes digital platform.
A severe collapse in 1672 left only the facade, choir, and side chapels standing, leading to a complete reconstruction that finished in 1678.
