Collège de l'Esquile, Historical educational building in central Toulouse, France
The college extends between Taur, Lois, and Esquile streets, featuring brick facades and a monumental staircase from the 18th century.
Founded before 1417 for six scholars, the institution transformed into a municipal college in 1551 through a royal edict and underwent reconstruction.
The college incorporated a chapel decorated in the late 17th century and now houses the Cinémathèque de Toulouse since 1997.
The main entrance portal stands on Rue du Taur, while the protected facades and roofs face Rue des Lois and Rue de l'Esquile.
The institution derived its name from the bell (esquila) that regulated the daily schedule of scholarship students during medieval times.
