The fresco of the nine popes recalls the time when Avignon was the seat of the papacy in the 14th century. It depicts the nine popes who led the Catholic Church from here during the so-called Avignon Papacy (1309–1377). The fresco illustrates the historical significance of Avignon as a religious and political center of Europe and is an impressive testament to this extraordinary era.
