In addition to the city walls, these gates consisted of fifteen doors and eight towers

The first fortifications date from the 14th century. In addition to the walls, they consisted of about fifteen gates and eight towers. It was during this same century that the ramparts were rebuilt and modernised, keeping the same layout.

Les Portes et Remparts 84210 Pernes-Les-Fontaines
Les Portes de la ville de Pernes-Les-Fontaines sont belles et grandioses. La Porte Villeneuve du XVI ème siècle, que j'ai trouvée impressionnante, est encadrée par deux tours circulaires et surmontée d'un chemin de ronde. Les armoiries de la ville ont été détruites pendant la Révolution. J'ai bien aimé la Porte Notre-Dame du XVI ème siècle et la chapelle Notre-Dame. La Porte Notre-Dame se compose de deux tours semi-circulaires aux bases en « cul de lampe ». Un écusson portant les armoiries du pape martelées à la Révolution est encore visible. La chapelle Notre-Dame des Grâces a été construite sur le pont entre 1510 et 1516. J'ai également trouvé très belle et émouvante la Porte Saint-Gilles, la plus ancienne des portes fortifiées, à cause des peintures murales du XVII ème siècle, partiellement visibles, qui ornent le dessous du passage de la Porte.

Sous la porte St Gilles, des fresques ont été récemment mises au jour. Pensez à lever la tête.
