Palace of the Archbishops

Palace of the Archbishops, Palais des Archeveques
France, Narbonne
Former palace of the archbishops of Narbonne. Located next to the Cathedral.

It consists of several parts: the Old Palace of ancient Roman origin, the New Palace in the Gothic style, transformed in the 17th-18th centuries, as well as the donjon of Gilles Eselen (late 13th - early 14th centuries) and the Saint-Martial and Madeleine towers (XIII century) . On the territory of the palace is the first city wall of Narbonne, behind it is the garden of the archbishopric. Between the donjon of Gilles Osen and the tower of St. Martial is the building of the city hall.
Since the 19th century, the palace has housed the city hall, the museum of art (former chambers) and the museum of archeology (in the wing of the Old Palace). The monumental complex of Narbonne also includes the cathedrals of Saint-Just and Saint-Pasteur.

In the center of the city, on the square near the remains of the old Roman road Via Domitia, which ran through Narbonne and connected Cadiz in Spain with Rome, there is a whole Episcopal Ensemble (I would call it that). It includes the Bishop's Palace, which now houses the city hall, consisting of a Romanesque old palace from the 13th century and a Gothic "new" palace from the 14th century, an anchor passage from the 19th century connecting them, two donjons, a museum of arts and history and the Cathedral of Saint Just .
