The cavea, a space intended for spectators, leans against the hill and rests on partially visible vaults in the southern part where the stands have disappeared. In its current, partially ruined state, it has sixteen rows of terraces, stripped of their white stone covering in the Middle Ages and remodeled during archaeological excavation. They are separated into two halves by a meter-wide axial staircase that descends to the orchestra.

The semicircular wall that constitutes the cavea enclosure is covered with a counterwall and forms a massif of 6.45 m. thick that still rises to 8 m, from the original estimated height of 17 m

The current building was built between 1855 and 1861.

It is composed of a central body of 100 m. long and two wings. Before becoming the Lyceum, the building had many functions. Until 1908, it was the Saint-Irénée seminary where theology could be studied.

It is made up of four main buildings, articulated around a square patio that allows light to enter but also circulation. Previously, on each side of the building there were stables and a garden. At the end of the 18th century, a shop arch was drilled, thus eliminating the three existing openings. All that remains today is the main door that leads into the hallway.

Completely Gothic, it is equipped with Louis XIV carpentry. The Gothic style façade has plays of curves and countercurves, combining cordoned drips, windows with bundles of moldings, fantastic figures with foliage motifs on the arches and gables cut for the openings.

Initially built in 1100. Rebuilt in the 16th century. XVII.

It is a Protestant place of worship. Former Catholic church, originally placed under the name of Saint-Jacme. It was assigned in 1806 to the worship of the Reformed churches.

After its construction it passed into the hands of the canons of the Abbey of Saint-Ruf d'Avignon, who made it their priory. When building a true abbey, the site of Épervière was chosen, on the banks of the Rhône and surrounded by the city's canals. The entire area is cultivated, mills established on the canals and a toll on the Rhône.

The abbey is often the victim of flooding from the Rhône and an insecurity that sometimes pushes the canons to take refuge in the Saint-James priory, in the heart of the city.

This state was maintained until the Wars of Religion, when the Baron des Adrets devastated the city and had all the churches demolished. Épervière Abbey will not rise from its ruins. From the s. In the 17th century, the canons rebuilt the abbey around the Saint-James priory. The church is built on the foundations of the old one, in the baroque architecture of the time. During the Revolution it became a wheat warehouse, an electoral hall and finally a temple of Reason and the Supreme Being.

The church is visible externally only by its classical façade and part of the north wall, where the epitaph of a canon can be seen embedded. The façade, framed by two pilasters with projecting capitals, includes a semicircular portal between two pilasters, topped by a triangular pediment without ornaments. In the upper part, delimited by a cornice, there are two semicircular windows that frame an oculus.

The interior is decorated with stucco for the nave, stucco and marble for the choir, restored in 1994-1995. A monument containing the heart of General Jean-Étienne Championnet has been placed in the apse since 1800. In 1805 the bell tower, which was threatening ruin, was demolished.

An imperial decree of 1806 attributes the chapel to the Protestant cult, which is still celebrated there. The temple was equipped with an organ in 1896, renovated between 1977 and 1981. After a small vestibule, one enters a single nave with a barrel vault on beams supported by pilasters. The nave has five sections: the first, longest, is divided between the entrance hall and a gallery that contains an organ accessed by a spiral staircase; The last section, also longer than the central ones, crossed by a polygonal lantern, forms the choir, followed by a semicircular vaulted apse in a dead end, illuminated by three semicircular arch windows. In the center of the apse, the pyramid-shaped monument bears an inscription that recalls the presence in the urn placed in front of it, of the heart of General Championnet.

The walls of the nave and choir are decorated with semicircular arches with stucco decorations. The choir is dressed with marble slabs, the apse vault has gold decorations.

The church was mentioned for the first time in the inventory of the chapter of Valence, in 1189.

However, everything suggests that the building was built much earlier. It seems that the lower part of the bell tower dates back to the 16th century. XII.

The documents evoke the course of several councils within it, in particular those of 374 (I Council of Valence) and 855.

During the s. XV went through different phases of work, degrading its general condition. During the s. XV suffered the wars of religion. In 1567, armed Protestants burned it down. At the beginning of the s. XVII, they will make an effort to raise the church, leaving the nave devoid of a side nave.

In 1720 the church of Saint-Jean was rebuilt. On the same occasion, the burials that were carried out there were prohibited; the cemetery was moved to the east. Today only the tomb of the bishop of Bethlehem remains.

In 1785 a fire destroyed the upper part of the bell tower and the jacquemart was replaced by a wrought iron bell tower.

During the revolution, in 1790, the Count of Voisins was assassinated by the population. This event had the effect of transforming Saint-Jean in its building and its functions. With the riots of 1793, cult celebrations came to an end. Saint-Jean first became a meeting place for primary assemblies, then a warehouse for military equipment and a prison for prisoners of war. In 1801, a decree allowed the reopening of the Saint-Jean cult. The body of the church is subject to a reconstruction program between 1840 and 1849. During the IIWW the stained glass windows of the church were blown out and were recreated starting in 1945. In 1966 the interior of the building was remodeled. Between 2005 and 2006 the church underwent a new phase of restoration. The façades of the body were cleaned and covered with a stained whitewash, the façades of the bell tower were cleaned, their joints were touched up, the original opening of the south façade was reopened and glazing was installed.

Listed as a historical monument since 1978.

The building was inaugurated in 1894 in an eclectic style.

It has a monumental staircase, the town hall, the wedding rooms and preserves original decorations: murals, mosaics and painted ceilings.

Its architecture has a belfry, a secular bell tower that symbolizes the city's independence from the Catholic Church, a classic façade and a tiled roof of different colors.

The monumental staircase in the entrance hall leads to the "bel floor", where the architecture, furniture and decoration reflect the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: high painted ceilings with coffered ceilings, false fireplace and monumental chandeliers, stained glass, sculpted furniture, decorated leather with imitations of Renaissance griffins.

Until the s. XIX, there were no buildings built specifically for municipal functions. The deterioration of the last building pushes the municipality to consider the construction of a new building. In 1891, as soon as the foundations were finished, work was stopped to think about a more prestigious location. The new boulevards arouse growing interest. After many debates, the rehabilitation of the old town will prevail over the prestige of the new neighborhoods.

It was listed as a historical monument in 2018.
