Augustinian convent, Gothic convent in Toulouse, France
The complex features a brick building with double-column pillars surrounding a central cloister garden connected by Romanesque galleries on all four sides.
The Augustinian religious order established the convent outside city walls in 1269, then relocated within Toulouse between 1310 and 1341 with papal approval.
The building transformed into the Toulouse Museum of Art in 1795, displaying Romanesque sculptures and Gothic art from the 12th through 15th centuries.
Visitors enter through Rue de Metz in the southeast corner, descend steps to access the cloister, and use the Darcy Staircase to reach upper galleries.
The convent survived the great fire of 1463 that destroyed much of Toulouse, leading to a four-decade reconstruction completed in 1504.
