Notre-Dame de Sénanque Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1148, and became an abbey in 1150. The monastery is known for the production of the liqueur of Sénacole, from 19 plants that flower in the Provencal valley of the abbey of Sénanque.
Built in the late middle ages to the 15th century the Synagogue in Cavaillon is one of the oldest French synagogues. The building was reconstructed between 1772 and 1774. The Synagogue was constructed in a rococo style with a mix of Jewish and Provençale culture.
The church of Saint-Siffrein, built between the 15th and 16th centuries, was the cathedral of the diocese of Carpentras until 1790. After the collapse of the nave of the previous Romanesque building, a new cathedral in Gothic style was built from 1404 onwards. The unfinished west façade contains two large 15th-century stained glass windows; the upper part of the façade was covered between 1615 and 1618, and the neo-Gothic bell tower is noteworthy. The nave, supported by buttresses between which side chapels are built, is extended by a narrower and lower choir and a seven-sided apse, a remarkable example of French Southern Gothic.
