This section of wall is the elegant remains of an imposing Dominican convent built in the thirteenth century and which included a church, a cloister, a chapter house and a bell tower.

He was deliberately destroyed only a century later, at the beginning of the war 100 years because of its proximity to the walled enclosure. Taken by the enemy, he would have been a fulcrum of choice to the greatest disadvantage of the city. The Dominicans then found a better shelter intramural.
