Iconic and spectacular, the Capitole de Toulouse located a few minutes away from ACE Hotel, is a must-see monument. Founded by the capitouls in 1190, the Capitole has been the seat of municipal power for over eight centuries. The eight columns of its Caunes-Minervois marble façade represent the first eight capitouls of the pink city. Inside, the walls depict the city’s history from the XII century to the present day.
