urban landscape. View of the arch of nazareth. Arcade connecting the court of auditors to its archives which spanned the rue de nazareth reduced to a dead end in 1843. Palais de justice. Historical commentary:
rue de jerusalem was absorbed, like rue de nazareth and sainte-anne, at the end of the 19th century by the quai des orfèvres as the palais de justice was extended. The nazareth arch, built from 1552 to 1556, connected the court of auditors in the courtyard of the sainte chapelle to its archives established in the former home of the chaplains of the sainte chapelle. The court of auditors was set on fire during the commune, the arcade was not destroyed and was dismantled stone by stone to be reassembled in the courtyard of the carnavalet museum on the rue des francs-bourgeois side. Its style belongs to that of the advanced renaissance. The barrel vault supported on each side by four scrolled consoles, carries a floor illuminated on each side by a tabernacle window jutting out from a high gable roof. The main author of the work is guillaume le breton. The sculpted decoration is probably by jean goujon.
