Tips

Since 1274, Carpentras belonged to the papal domain of the Comtat Venaissin. Between 1309 and 1314, Pope Clement V made Carpentras – alongside Avignon – his residence. During the term of office of Pope Innocent VI (1352–1362), the city was surrounded by a city wall with 32 towers and four gates to protect it from the plundering mercenary troops of the Grandes Compagnies.

The 27 m high Porte d’Orange (around 1360) with its battlements is the only remaining city gate and is open on the city side as a three-wall gate tower (half-shell tower). It has two plank floors, one above the brick passageway (barrel vault) and the defense platform behind the battlements.
