Livrée de Ceccano, Medieval cardinal palace and public library in central Avignon, France
The Livrée de Ceccano spans three floors, featuring Gothic architecture with fortified elements, battlements, and richly decorated stone ceilings without plaster.
Cardinal Annibal de Ceccano resided in this palace from 1333 to 1350, during the period when Avignon served as the seat of the Catholic papacy.
The municipal library collection includes numerous volumes from the French Revolution era, obtained through confiscations and subsequent donations.
The media resource center provides free access to educational materials, study areas, and exhibition spaces for both residents and researchers.
Original ceiling paintings from the 14th century remain visible throughout the building, applied directly onto stone surfaces using medieval techniques.
