    The huge residence (15,000 m2) consists of the Palais Vieux and the Palais Neuf. The former, a defensive, fortress-like building, was built in 1334 for Benedict XII. built. Clement VI, a lavish church prince and artist, commissioned Jean de Louvres to design the Palais Neuf in 1342. The Tour de la Garde robe and two new parts of the building closed off the courtyard, which had been a public square until then. While the exterior hardly changed, the interiors were splendidly decorated by artists under the direction of Simone Martini and later Matteo Giovannetti.
