Église des Dominicains d'Arles, Gothic church in Arles, France.

The building features a single nave with cross-ribbed vaults spanning five bays and lateral chapels that form side aisles without interconnecting passages.

The Dominicans, established in Arles since 1231, constructed this church between 1448 and 1499 after their initial convent was destroyed by Trastamare forces.

The facade incorporates a hexagonal stair tower and two separate doors, with the north entrance for worshippers and the south entrance reserved for Dominican brothers.

The church at 1 Place Albin Peyron opens free of charge during the Photography Festival and Heritage Days.

Excavations in 1985 uncovered that the nave pillars rest upon an ancient Roman wall built with large cut stones serving as foundations.
