Montmajour Abbey, one of the oldest abbeys in Provence, stands just outside the French city of Arles and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built in the 10th century by Benedictine monks, the abbey has endured through war, plague, and periods of abandonment. Today, the restored complex offers a glimpse into its storied past, with visitors able to explore the ancient stone structures and learn about the rich history that has shaped this significant site.
