Hôpital de La Grave
Hôpital de La Grave, Medical heritage site in Saint-Cyprien, Toulouse, France.
The six-hectare medical complex features a central dome and multiple buildings along the Garonne River, serving as a medical center and historic monument.
The hospital was first documented in 1197 through a charter from Count Raymond IV of Toulouse and expanded between 1508 and 1514 during plague outbreaks.
The facility transformed from a plague hospital into a general institution in 1647, caring for impoverished residents and marking social changes in healthcare.
The hospital currently provides multiple medical services including geriatrics, social medicine, sexual health, and child psychiatry with 26 specialized beds.
The name La Grave originates from the French word 'grève', referring to the sandy riverbank where the hospital was established centuries ago.

Toulouse offers numerous locations for photography beyond its main attractions. The Renaissance courtyards of Hôtel d'Assézat, the gardens of Raymond VI, and the converted water tower of Château d'Eau present architectural interest. The Garonne riverbanks, including Quai de la Daurade and Port Saint-Sauveur, provide water views. Historic buildings like Hôtel Dieu Saint-Jacques and La Grave show the city's architectural heritage. Gardens and parks such as Grand Rond and Prairie des Filtres add natural elements to urban photographs.
