St. Peter's Church

Église Saint-Pierre, Basilique Saint-Pierre d'Avignon, Saint-Pierre Church
France, Avignon
St. Peter's Church is located in the center of the Old Town near the Papal Palace. It was built in the 14th century in the flaming Gothic style, which is characterized by an abundance of decorative elements made in a shape resembling flames. The main element of the interior is wooden doors with magnificent carvings made in the 16th century by Antoine Volard.

The Church of St. Peter is active; organ music concerts are also held here.

The main building, in the style characteristic of the medieval churches of Avignon, was erected in 1358, and its facade, decorated in the flamboyant Gothic style, dates back to the next century. One of the main advantages of St. Peter's Church is its carved walnut doors. Their rich decoration, made by the sculptor Antoine Volard in 1551, is in the Renaissance style. Amazing atmosphere here. Somehow, without agreeing, we singled out this church from the whole variety of temples that we visited, and then returned here with enviable constancy.
