Convent of the Cordeliers

Monument in Toulouse

It was in 1222 that the Friars Minor of the Order of St. Francis, the Franciscans, settled in the heart of Toulouse. Between the thirteenth and fifteenth century they undertook the construction of the famous convent of the Cordeliers between existing streets Laws, College of Foix, Albert Lautmann and Deville.

His church is still the largest in the city after the Basilica of Saint Sernin, and it has the highest vault with twenty-five meters. The church has suffered the horrors of the French Revolution and in particular was largely empty at this time. However, it has been preserved, unlike other buildings of the Franciscan convent was sold as national property or demolished. The set is now classified as an historic monument.

Southern Gothic style, the church of the monastery was built in the fourteenth century, especially having a top wall of bricks on its western facade. Passing on the site, you can still admire the old chapter house renovated in the 1990s and currently hosting the Franco-Mexican University House or the remains of the vault and the Chapel of Our Lady of Rieux.
