The palace was built by John XXII and the succeeding popes, reflecting Avignon’s importance as the center of Christianity at that time. At the end of the 14th century the palace lost its importance and was neglected and practically abandoned from its grand role. The palace is comprised of an 'old palace' and a 'new palace, and although most of the decorations and furniture are gone, still the vast rooms and halls, of which 25 rooms are open to visitors, are very impressive.
