 Avignon

Accepted Answer

Avignon is a city located in the Provence region of southeastern France. It is known for being the seat of the Catholic Church during the 14th century, when the papacy was moved from Rome to Avignon. This period, known as the Avignon Papacy, lasted from 1309 to 1377. The move was initiated by Pope Clement V, who chose to reside in Avignon due to political and religious tensions in Italy. The city became an important center of power and influence during this time, with the construction of the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) as a symbol of the papal authority. The Avignon Papacy had a significant impact on the Catholic Church and European politics, and its legacy can still be seen in the city's architecture and cultural heritage. Today, Avignon is known for its historical significance, as well as its annual performing arts festival, the Festival d'Avignon, which attracts artists and visitors from around the world.
