A veritable jewel of Languedoc Gothic art, the Ensemble Conventuel des Jacobins, a former Dominican convent, is an exceptional monument housing a remarkable church where holy relics of Saint Thomas Aquinas are worshipped.
In this building entirely made of bricks, the contrast between its massive or even austere aspect of the exterior and the extraordinary lightness of the interior architecture where the famous palm-tree ribs thrust upwards. There is also the cloister, the sacristy, the chapter house, a chapel dedicated to Saint Antonin decorated with a set of mural paintings from the 14th Century which are unique in Toulouse along with a refectory where prestigious exhibitions are organised.
