Lonely Planet review for Place du Palais

A golden statue of the Virgin Mary (weighing a portly 4.5 tons) stands on the dome of the Romanesque Cathédrale Notre Dame des Doms (built 1671–72), outstretched arms protecting the city. Admire fine views from Rocher des Doms gardens. Opposite the Palais des Papes, the building dripping with outsized carvings of fruit and heraldic beasts is the former 17th-century mint, Hôtel des Monnaies.
