This site, located between the Cours Mirabeau and the Church of the Holy Spirit, holds stories from centuries past, dating back to its founding in the 15th century. Today, what remains of this vast complex is mainly its iconic bell tower and chapel, as well as walls integrated into more modern buildings. An interesting detail is that Martin Luther is said to have stayed here around 1510-1511. In the 16th century, the tower was enriched with a bell tower, a wrought iron structure designed to withstand the strong mistral winds, and was equipped with bells. With the French Revolution, the convent was converted into homes, a fate common to many religious buildings of the time. Today, the tower and chapel are owned by the municipality, while the surrounding buildings are privately owned. This place preserves not only architectural history, but also pieces of daily life in Aix-en-Provence from the past.
