The Capitole of Toulouse by Klod5
The township didn't change a site since the Capitouls, in October 1190, buy a land at this place. The alternation of the brick of terracotta and the stone gives to the Capitol its inimitable seal.
This type of decoration is not without recalling the Byzantine monuments, and is spilled very in ToulouseIn the court Henry IV you can see, to the over of the portal, the king's only statue, achieved of his living. To soil, a plate commemorates the decapitation of Simon of Montfort.
Go up to the first floor, admire while passing the big painting that illustrates the first ceremony of the "Academie des Jeux Floraux". Go discover the Salle des Illustres, that looks so much like the Gallery Farnese, in Rome.
