One of the most unusual architectural structures of Toulouse is the St Etienne Cathedral. Its construction has begun in the 11th century and lasted more than 600 years.

Now the old cathedral is a fascinating place storing collections of ancient tapestries. Among other interesting tourist sites Jacobins Church of the 13th century is worth mentioning.
