_The Archevêché_, or Archbishop’s residence, is [Illustration: OLD GABLED HOUSES IN THE RUE DU CHANGE AT TOURS. The overhanging storys are supported by richly carved brackets.] close to the cathedral. It is only in part of the fourteenth century, the rest having been rebuilt in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The entrance of Ionic columns was constructed partly of materials of an Arc de Triomphe put up to the glory of Louis XIV., and demolished when the Rue Royale (or Nationale) was cut. _The Roman remains_ behind the cathedral consist chiefly of portions of the amphitheatre to be found in some cellars of houses in the Rue du Général Meunier and Rue Manceau. Other remains were destroyed in 1883. _The Tour de Guise_, a round machicolated tower of the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, is all that remains of the royal castle built by Henry II. of England about 1180. It is called ‘de Guise’ because it was the prison, after his father’s murder at Blois, of the Duc de Joinville, son of Henri, Duc de Guise. St. Martin died at Candes about 400; his body was brought to Tours, and a modest oratory of wood erected above his tomb. In 472 a new edifice was consecrated; it was the most important work in the West erected after the fall of Rome and before Charlemagne. Clovis and his successors heaped benefits upon the monastery established near the church, and even carried in their expeditions the cope and relics of the saint. Having become one of the great Christian pilgrimages, by the eighth century the church was the centre of a new town, distinct from the old, as already mentioned. Between 906 and 918 Martinopolis or Châteauneuf was surrounded by walls; in 997 the church was burnt. The next church lasted till 1175, when the third church was built. In 1562 it was ruined by the Huguenots, and in 1802, in order to make an opening for a street, everything was demolished except the two towers and a gallery of the little cloister. _The new Church of St. Martin._ In 1860 excavations were carried out to discover the bones of St. Martin. These efforts were successful, and now an imposing new church with a huge dome has been built over his remains. _Tour de l’Horloge_ (_or Du Trésor_), built in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, is crowned with a small dome of the eighteenth century. _Tour Charlemagne_, of the same period, is so called because at its base was the tomb of Luitgarde, third wife of Charlemagne, who died at Tours in 800. _Notre Dame la Riche_, founded in the fourth century, and rebuilt in the fifteenth, was greatly destroyed by Huguenots in 1562, and restored recently. _The Priory St. Côme._--The remains near the bridge of St. Cyn include the church, belonging to the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, and the Romanesque refectory. _The Chapelle du Lycée_ is the ancient Church of the Minimes. The first stone laid by Marie de Medici in 1630.
