You can get a good view of the tower from the inner courtyard behind the row of houses. The passage to the street is blocked off with gates. You get there via the "Rue du Chateau".

Orange Gate
Highlight • Monument
The 27 m high Porte d’Orange (around 1360) with its battlements is the only remaining city gate and is open on the city side as a three-wall gate tower (half-shell tower). It has two plank floors, one above the brick passageway (barrel vault) and the defense platform behind the battlements.

The Roman arch
Highlight • Other
"The Roman triumphal arch, called the Arc de Carpentras, is located at the back of the Palace of Justice. On its east side it shows two prisoners, one dressed in fur (possibly a Germanic), the other in a tunic. It is assumed that this is a man from the Orient due to the exotic clothing for southern Gaul." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpentras

Saint Siffrein Cathedral
Highlight • Historical Site
Renovation work was carried out in 2024. The building tells of the long history of Carpentras.
"The former St-Siffrein Cathedral bears the patronage of St. Sifredus (St. Siffrein); it was commissioned by Antipope Benedict XIII in 1404 and completed in 1519, although it was subsequently given a baroque façade in the 17th century. It was built into the city wall. The bishop could attend mass from a small loggia that can be reached via the gallery in the nave. The late Gothic south portal is traditionally called the Porte Juive (Jewish portal) because Jews who converted to Christianity were led through this portal to be baptized." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpentras
