Capitole de Toulouse, City hall and theater in Toulouse, France
The Capitole features an elongated neoclassical facade stretching 135 meters with Corinthian columns supporting an entablature and central pediment.
The original structure dates from 1190 when the Capitouls, municipal magistrates of Toulouse, established the first administrative center at this location.
The Salle des Illustres within the Capitole displays an extensive collection of paintings and busts representing important figures from Toulouse's history.
The building operates both as the seat of municipal government and as a performance venue, housing the Théâtre du Capitole opera company.
During the 1562 religious conflicts, the building's dungeon tower became a stronghold for Huguenot forces during the Riots of Toulouse.
