Place des Célestins

It belongs to the zone classified as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Before 1307, the square was located on the lands owned by the Knights Templar, who had a command post there.

After the Knights Templar's eviction, the Celestines installed a monastery which, despite some fires, remained for almost 400 years.

Within the square, a kind of refracting telescope provides a kaleidoscope view of the car park below.

[2] Its most notable monument is the Théâtre des Célestins, designed by Gaspard André, and inaugurated in 1877, then in 2005.
