By the late 17th century, the Damiani family, several of whom were Knights of Malta, owned a heritage residence in the La Roquette district. Among them was Jean Damian de Vinsargues, who served as First Consul of Arles in 1708.<\/p>\n<p>The building as it stands today was constructed in its entirety during the second half of the 17th century. Built on a rectangular plot, it is organized around an inner courtyard and features a spacious entrance hall with a straight-flight staircase and square balusters, typical of civil architecture of the period.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e05c1119eb1\" data-id=\"69e05c1119eb1\" data-height=\"100\" data-height-mobile=\"0\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e05c1119ecd\" data-id=\"69e05c1119ecd\" data-height=\"100\" data-height-mobile=\"25\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_single_image image=&#8221;727&#8243; img_size=&#8221;1000&#215;1000&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Architecture&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e05c1119ef0\" data-id=\"69e05c1119ef0\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"0\" data-height-tab=\"\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The monumental porch is one of the most striking elements of the fa\u00e7ade.
