About

The Palais de Justice opens its archaeological crypt just for you: in its hushed atmosphere, in the shade of its thick walls, discover vestiges of Toulouse's history, that of the Romans, the Counts of Toulouse and many others.

When it was founded in the 1st century, the city of Tolosa had one of its main entrances here, to the south, close to the Garonne. During the feudal period, and with the emergence of the County of Toulouse, the gateway to the rampart was redeveloped in response to invasions. It became an imposing castle, which disappeared during the Renaissance.

It was during this period that the kingdom of France, having annexed the county two centuries earlier, replaced the castle with sumptuous houses more suited to the administration of royal justice.

On this exclusive tour, you'll be able to explore the ruins of one of the town's greatest archaeological discoveries. Archaeologists spent almost ten years bringing to light 600 m2 of crypt.

Retranché dans le château, c’est juste ici que Simon de Montfort trouvera la mort, rendant la ville à Raimond VI comte de Toulouse !
