The Jacobin Monastery is a jewel of medieval art. The sober as well as original, gigantic building boasts a unique church. Strictly austere on the outside, it captivates through the light filledness, the lightness of the vaults, and the double ship, which ends with a spectacular 22-rib stone palm.

Under the altar are the relics of the Dominican Thomas Aquinas. The walls are completely painted in trompe l'oeil style to imitate marble - more noble than brick.

In the cloister, the former refectory, the Marienkapelle and the Antoniuskapelle, which invite for a cool and quiet break, concerts and exhibitions are organized.

Hidden behind the high walls of the church, here you will find the first great Dominican convent in Toulouse. The church and convent were built in the 13th century for a community of monks whose mission was focused on preaching. Today, the convent is a monument of exceptional historical and architectural interest. It is open to the public all year round from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Jacobin Convent, i.e. the monastery of the Dominican order, in the southern French city of Toulouse is an extraordinary building complex from the Middle Ages. The monastery church is dedicated to Saint Thomas Aquinas (circa 1225-1274), who was canonized in 1325 and whose bones were transferred to the religious order church of Toulouse on January 28, 1369, where they now rest in a shrine under the altar slab. The entire building complex of the former Jacobin convent of Toulouse was included in the first list of monuments historiques in 1840.
