Dôme de la Grave
Chapelle Saint-Joseph de la Grave
The copper-green dome of a chapel in the former hospital on the left bank of the Garonne. It is one of the landmarks of Toulouse's skyline.
The Hôpital de la Grave began as a 12th-century almshouse. Its Chapelle Saint-Joseph, built in the 18th and 19th centuries, has a massive dome covered in copper sheeting that stands out clearly on the Garonne riverbank. Seen together with the Pont Neuf, it makes Toulouse's classic postcard view. After restoration, the chapel is used as an exhibition and event space, and opening hours depend on the exhibitions. Normally, visitors admire the exterior from the opposite bank or from the Pont Neuf.
