Noviciat des jésuites, Religious education building in Avignon, France.
The Jesuit Novitiate features a Greek cross chapel crowned with a dome and three vaulted galleries surrounding a central courtyard.
Founded in 1589 through a significant donation, the novitiate served as a training house for Jesuit novices until their expulsion in 1768.
The building currently houses the Superior Institute of Performing Arts Techniques and participates in the Festival of Avignon each July.
Located at 20 Rue du Portail Boquier in Avignon, the monument contains both a hotel and exhibition spaces open to visitors.
Architect Etienne Martellange designed the chapel with diagonal openings, creating a distinctive architectural pattern characteristic of his style.
