Place Pie

Place Pie was born from the destruction of a large manor house of Mr. Parpaille. He was a dean of the University of Avignon as was his father, and a deputy of the city in Rome. He was born Catholic, but happened to be reformist in 1561, and so was killed as a heretic in 1562 and his home was destroyed. The space thus became a square, baptized by the name of Pope Pius IV. A market was built in its center. The square is next to its neighbour Plaza Pignotte and the Jewish Quarter, which is separated by the brotherhood St. John of Jerusalem. It was next to the cuerros market. Several nice bars are housed the square, and an old courthouse has been restored well.
