The Église Saint‑Didier is a remarkable Gothic church in Avignon, built in the 14th century under Pope Innocent VI. Its architecture is characterized by a single vast nave, creating an impression of solemn grandeur and simplicity. The façade, with its pointed portal and rose window, reflects the elegance of Provençal Gothic style. Inside, the church houses notable works of art, including the celebrated altarpiece of the Crucifixion by Francesco Laurana, a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture. The atmosphere is one of quiet reverence, where light filters through stained glass to illuminate centuries of devotion. Situated near the bustling Rue de la République, Saint‑Didier remains a place of worship and reflection, connecting the daily life of Avignon with its rich spiritual heritage. More than a monument, it embodies the city’s enduring blend of faith, history, and artistry.
