Summary
| Description |
Detail from a 17th century map of Avignon in the Atlas Van Loon showing the two gates of the Portail Magnanen that once formed part of the 13th century double city walls. Although published in 1663 this map is a careful copy of an earlier map on 8 plates that was published in 1618. The detail shows the junction between the Rue des Lices (running from lower left) and the Rue du Portail Magnanen. Also depicted is a small bridge over what had originally been the inner of the two moats around the town. The exterior gate (lower) was demolished in 1750, the inner gate was demolished in 1754.(Rolland 1989, pp. 185-186) References
