La Place Wilson
This place, fitted out in
19-th century by the architect Pierre
Virebent was decorated in 1898
with a fountain the statue of which represents the
poet Pierre Godolin ( 1580-1649 ).
From “La Place
Wilson” shine several major axes of Toulouse as “les allées
Roosevelt” or “les allées Jean-Jaurès”. |
Saint-Sernin
This building was dedicated to
the first bishop
of Toulouse Saturnin (
Sernin) who died in martyr, attached
in Taurus in 250 after JC. The basilica
represents after
Cluny (destroyed) the
vastest Romanic set standing. It was
at first time
restored by Viollet-le-Duc between 1860 and
1879, but works finished in 1994 fell
in the monument an aspect
more corresponding
to the original Saint-Sernin built among the
11-th and the 13-th century. |

Hôtel Dieu
The Hotel Dieu Saint Jacques
was the place of reception and care of
the pilgrims which went to
Santiago de Compostela. One notes the
balance of its construction and its typical formal
garden of the classic architecture. The entry of the chapel of

statue.
At present, one can visit:
The room Saint
Jacques with the wooden ceiling of the
17-th century. As well as the room Saint-Lazare with its walls
of bricks and the wooden
ceilings. |
