region&rsquo;s architecture.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"2490\">Its plan is designed according to a \u201cpilgrimage plan\u201d: it has a choir with radiating chapels and an ambulatory that allows movement around the nave during services.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"2490\">The basilica houses several relics, notably in its crypt: according to tradition, those of saints such as Simon and Jude can be found there.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"2490\">Inside, one can admire a large Cavaill\u00e9-Coll organ (three keyboards), installed in 1888 and restored in the 1990s, considered one of the most important in France.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"2490\">The main portal, called Porte Mi\u00e8geville, is adorned with a sculpted tympanum: Christ

located between Place du Capitole and the Garonne.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"3701\">It includes the Jacobins\u2019 church, a cloister, a chapter house, a refectory, and the Saint-Antonin chapel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"3701\">Founded in the 13th century by the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), it played a central role in the religious and intellectual history of Toulouse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"3701\">The church is famous for its \u201cpalm\u201d vault: the vault ribs radiate from a single central column, forming a kind of stone palm tree.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"3701\">The cloister, built between 1307 and 1310, is served by four galleries supported by 160 marble columns, giving it great architectural finesse.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2530\" data-end=\"3701\">The convent was heavily restored recently (renovation completed in 2015) and today welcomes visitors through exhibitions, guided tours,

The very wide Gothic nave strongly contrasts with the older and narrower choir, creating an unusual perspective.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"257\" data-end=\"1024\">The fa\u00e7ade features a large rose window and a bell wall typical of the Toulouse region.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"257\" data-end=\"1024\">Inside, there are numerous decorated chapels, remarkable stained glass, and period liturgical furniture.
