Overview

At the time of its initial construction, Montmajour was an island some 43 meters above the marshland terrain that surrounded it. However, a lot has changed since the building's humble beginnings.

This ticket lets you explore one of the most fascinating sites around Arles. You'll understand why Van Gogh made it one of his subjects, and how more than a thousand years of development shaped its purpose and its grand exterior.
