According to legend, this church was built on the spot where the body of Saturninus of Toulouse, in his martyrdom, broke loose from the bull (Latin taurus) that dragged him behind him. The church stands in Rue du Taur, between Place du Capitole and the Basilica of Saint-Sernin. It was already included in the list of monuments historiques in 1840. Source: Wikipedia

The Capitole of Toulouse

Highlight • Historical Site

The Capitol (French Le Capitole) is a building in the French city of Toulouse that houses both the town hall and a theater. The building is located on Place du Capitole in the heart of Toulouse.

As early as 1190, a building for the city council, the Capitouls, was built on this site. The name of the building is derived from these and the Roman Capitol. Since then, Toulouse's municipal administration building has always been located on this site. The complex used to be larger, with halls and outbuildings that had grown over the centuries to suit individual needs. In the 20th century, the buildings on the 2 hectare square were redesigned. The 135 m wide neoclassical facade made of characteristic pink bricks dates from 1760 to a design by Guillaume Cammas. In addition, there is only the Tour des Archives from the 16th century and the galleries of the Cour Henri IV from the 17th century. Parts of the interior date from the 16th century. The Capitol was at the center of the conflicts during the Huguenot uprisings in Toulouse in 1562.
