File:Portail Magnanen On 17th Century Avignon Map.jpg
Although published in 1663 this map is a careful copy of an earlier map on 8 plates that was published in 1618. The detail shows the junction between the Rue des Lices (running from lower left) and the Rue du Portail Magnanen. Also depicted is a small bridge over what had originally been the inner of the two moats around the town.
The exterior gate (lower) was demolished in 1750, the inner gate was demolished in 1754.(Rolland 1989, pp. 185-186)
