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 &#8216;old palace&#8217; and a &#8216;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. Explore the great and small courtyards, St. John and St. Martial Chapels and the private study room of Clement VI. Admire the grand 14th century frescoes, the huge Clementine Chapel, and the Great Audience Hall where the court of Apostolic Causes met to pass judgment. Major art exhibitions are held regularly in the Popes Palace including exhibitions which are part of the July Festival d&#8217;Avignon.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-6292","destination","type-destination","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Avignon Attractions Travel Guide &amp; Sites | Travel with Joy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Avignon travel with papal palace, history, and culture.
