Le Capitole

and its place

This is the building that most represents the Pink City. This neo-classical building gave its name to the Place du Capitole, the focal point of Toulouse. It houses the town hall and the Capitole theatre. Its ceremonial rooms are filled with frescoes, mouldings and gilding. The Salle des Illustres bears witness to the splendour of this period.

The Jacobins convent is another of the town's characteristic monuments. A former convent of the Dominican friars, it dates back to the 13th century and its Southern Gothic architecture makes it a majestic building. With a vaulted choir in the shape of a palm tree almost 30 metres high, coloured stained glass windows that let the light through and a cloister with a garden where you can relax and recharge your batteries.
