    • The Jacobin Convent is a religious building located in the city center of Toulouse. It is a group of southern Gothic buildings, built between the 13th and 14th centuries by the Order of Preachers, also known as the Jacobins.


      History

      Founded in 1229, the convent is a remarkable example of Gothic architecture in southern France. The convent was the seat of the Inquisition from the late 13th century.

      Its church is famous for its “ palm grove ”, a series of columns that support the vaults, creating the impression of a stone forest.

      The Jacobin Convent also housed the relics of Saint Thomas Aquinas in 1368.


      Today, the convent is a major cultural venue in Toulouse. It hosts concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events.

      The cloister and the refectory are places of relaxation and contemplation.

    Questa è una chiesa che metterei a pari merito di Saint-Sernin in quanto se l’esterno dimostra una sobrietà, l’interno invece mette in luce l’imponenza delle colonne che sorreggono la copertura con le nervature bicrome delle volte, specie l’ultima, quella del coro, che sorregge come una palma, e da qui “il palmizio” credo 22 archi a volta gotica. La colonna è alta circa 23 metri e si nota che il gotico ha voluto rendere piccoli i fedeli all’interno della casa di Dio. Molto belli i giochi di luce al tramonto quando il sole obliquo attraversa le vetrate colorate dando luminosità e colore all’interno. Da vedere il chiostro con la splendida sala capitolare, il refettorio e la Cappella dedicata a Sant’Antonio

    Le jour où je suis venue il n’acceptait que le paiement en espèces et il y avait des travaux, mais le lieu restait très beau. Le jardin est parfait pour prendre des photos, et l’endroit ressemble vraiment aux images qu’on voit sur les affiches, avec ses colonnes emblématiques. L’architecture est impressionnante, surtout le fameux “palmier” à l’intérieur, et l’ambiance est calme et apaisante malgré les visiteurs.
