The centerpiece of Toulouse is the majestic Basilica of Saint-Sernin, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest Romanesque churches in Europe, adorned with stunning sculptures and a remarkable crypt. Nearby, the Capitole de Toulouse, a grand neoclassical building housing the city hall and theater, overlooks the lively Place du Capitole, a hub of activity with cafes, shops, and street performances.
