Abbey of St Caesarius, Arles

The Abbey of St Caesarius (French: Abbaye Saint-Césaire; Occitan: Abadia de Sant Cèsari), at first called the abbey or monastery of St John (French: monastère Saint-Jean; Occitan: monastèr de Sant Joan), was a nunnery in the city of Arles in the south-eastern corner of the rampart. It was founded in 512 AD by Saint Caesarius of Arles, after whom it is now named. The abbey was suppressed in the French Revolution. Those that remained of the buildings were later used as a hospice; they are now abandoned.
