Lyon Fourvière, Site de l'Antiquaille

You are at the entrance (rue du professeur Pierre Marion) of the new Antiquaille district. The first buildings of this former hospital site date back to 15 BC. The vineyards were acquired by Pierre SALA between 1506 and 1508. In the seventeenth century the site became a Trinitarian convent until the Revolution when it became national property and a hospital from 1804 to 2003. The new neighbourhood project encompasses a cultural centre, a Christian centre around the so-called tomb of Saint Pothin to visit (antiquaille.fr), a ‘world-culture’ centre, shops, offices, a student residence, flats, a 5 star hotel and a gourmet restaurant.
