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.
