The Capitole of Toulouse, is a building that's now used for Opera, theatre, classical music concert.

Talking about architecture, it is very hard to tell when it was built. In fact we don't know when the original building was built. It has been left in ruins for ages and they only renoved it seriously in the 17th century.

The main building is the home of the city house, and of the "Opera du Capitole", one of the most famous French opera house after the Opera National de Paris (now playing in the Opera Bastille). It was here than the Wagner's opera where played in France for the first time.

The inside court is named the "Cour Henri IV" named after the famous French king. And where the "Duc de Montmorency" was killed.

The keep, was first for the archives and was used by the "Capitouls" when they administrated the city.

You have pictures of the building properly talking, with the keep behind it. But also of the two squares (behind and in front of the Capitole). Of the "cour Henri IV" and of the inside.

All pictures by me.

What are we voting for? The square? The gardens? The interior of some buildings?

The square has nothing extraordinary. 6/10
