Museum of the history of the city.
Great mansion house built in the 16th century in Renaissance style for a rich merchant. It now houses the personal art collection of Georges Bemberg (1915–2011).
This great ramshackle edifice is partly Gothic but mostly Dog's Breakfast – the medieval builders made a hash of things on a sublime scale. They half-built one church, abandoned it, started building another, abandoned that, while other sections were added and added instead of starting over with a clear site. The Archbishop of Toulouse has to come to work in this Frankencathedral.
Magnificent red-brick building in Neoclassical style, lording it over the pedestrianised main plaza. It houses City Hall (with a grandiose "Salle des Illustres") and the city's main theatre. They no longer do guided tours but you can see much of it free.
This church was founded in 410 AD as a pagan temple to Apollo but demolished in 1761. The present neoclassical building was completed in 1883 and restored in 2017–19.
Deconsecrated mother-church of the Dominicans (called Jacobins in France because their first convent was in Rue St-Jacques in Paris). Built in Gothic red brick, it contains St Thomas Aquinas' relics. It's now a museum, enclosing the convent, refectory, chapel of St Antonin and Salle Capitulaire.
