Capitole

Toulouse’s most famous landmark, the Capitole, has always been at the heart of the city. The majestic brick building with its 18th-century façade of marble columns, now home to the city council and theater, has been the siege of municipal power for more than eight centuries. The original building, of which only the “donjon” tower remains, was built starting 1190 by the Capitouls, the elected municipal councilors. You can visit the courtyard and the ceremonial galleries upstairs, with their wall-length paintings, and take in the view over the market square.
