Avignon - Grenier à Sel, Historic salt storage in Avignon, France
The Salt Granary of Avignon stands along the city ramparts with stone walls and features architectural elements from the 14th century.
Built in 1363 during the Papal period, this structure stored salt for the royal monopoly and collected the gabelle tax until the French Revolution.
The Salt Granary now functions as a contemporary art center, hosting exhibitions, performances, and creative residencies throughout the year.
Located at 2 Rue du Rempart-Saint-Lazare, the building offers free access to exhibitions through patronage support and private event rentals.
Architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte received the Europa Nostra Prize for transforming this medieval salt warehouse into a modern cultural space in 1989.
