Dome de la Grave
Place Lange, Toulouse, FranceTel: +33 5 61 77 78 33
Originally founded to cope with victims of the great plague epidemics in the 15th century, it was converted into a general hospital in 1647. The Saint-Joseph de la Grave hospital is still a major medical centre as well as an important feature in the landscape of Toulouse. Its striking copper dome is a happy contrast to the surrounding brick buildings. It is possible to visit the circular chapel under the dome (it was begun in 1758 and completed after the French Revolution): the facade and interior are severe whilst its height of 51 metres is impressive. Walk around the hospital buildings (dating from the 17th and 18th centuries), go through the four courtyards and look out for the Taillefer tower on the North side.
