Along with the Old Bridge, it is the only medieval vestige of the city ... Nothing remains of the first church built in the 12th century, which was rebuilt in the following century by the great Montalbanese families, in expiation for their sympathies for the Cathars. An exemplary monument of southern Gothic architecture, it has a vast single nave vaulted on ribbed vaults, narrow windows, a polygonal apse and a Toulouse-style bell tower. Transformed during the Wars of Religion into a watchtower (bell tower), saltpeter manufacturing workshop (nave) and fort (choir), the church still bears the impacts of the cannonballs of the siege of 1621 on the façade. After the Catholic reconquest (1629), Cardinal Richelieu, the king's minister, ordered the ruined parts of the church to be rebuilt identically. It even became a cathedral for a time (1629-1739), the old one having been destroyed in 1561. Augmented by side portals in the 18th century, its façade received a neo-Romanesque decoration in the 19th century, while the nave and choir were adorned with wall decorations.

In the second half of the 17th century, bishops and intendants joined forces to make Montauban a modern, well-organized and airy city. Intendant Nicolas Joseph Foucault creates here in 1679, the first public walk. It responds to a dual motivation: to retain the lands that collapsed along the Tarn and offer the Montalbanais a space of approval. The course, which stretches over five hectares planted with abalone, quickly becomes a place frequented by the elegant society of the city, which likes to appear and walk there. At the end of the central alley stands the imposing War Memorial of 1914-1918 made by Bourdelle.

Temporarily closed - In 1685, Louis XIV decided to build a gigantic cathedral to assert his power and mark the victory of the Catholic religion. Built at the highest point of the city and partly built in white stone, the cathedral symbolizes the all-powerful Catholic monarchy on the former rebel city ... The work of Catholic reconquest on the Protestant city culminated in 1692 with the laying of the first stone of Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of classical architecture. And to make room for it, we do not hesitate to remove whole blocks of houses, to split in two sections the street of Soubirous and to clear a vast forecourt on the Place des Nonnains (today Franklin Roosevelt) Consecrated in 1739, it is the work of three royal architects: François d'Orbay, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte. The classical facade bears the statues of the four evangelists, dominated by the king's arms inscribed on the pediment. The interior reveals a building with harmonious lines, enhanced by a delicate dome on pendants.The cathedral houses remarkable furniture: stalls (eighteenth), carved walnut organ (seventeenth) and a Napoleon III style baldachin. In the north arm of the transept is one of Ingres' major works, the Vow of Louis XIII (1824). The interior of the cathedral breaks strongly with the aesthetics of the Saint Jacques church: the high windows flood the nave with lights. The cathedral is home to exceptional furniture, including a 17th century walnut organ, a 18th century pulpit and a 19th century Napoleon III canopy. In 2010, a treasure is set up by the State in the great sacristy, opened during some visits proposed by the Heritage Center. OPENING HOURS indicative : Monday to Saturday from 8h to 19h and Sunday from 10h to 19h (Sunday religious office at 11am)

A must-see in the heart of the city since 1144 and the origins of Montauban. THE PLACE IN THE MIDDLE AGES Seat of economic and municipal power, place of justice, the square was the center of Montalbanese public life in the Middle Ages. THE PLACE IN MODERN ERA Destroyed by two fires in the 17th century, the reconstructed square is magnified by a rigorous architectural program. It remains the commercial heart of the city. THE PLACE IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES The urban, demographic and economic development of the city since the French Revolution has gradually diminished the role local merchant. A GEM TO PRESERVE Despite the modifications made over the centuries, the place retains a remarkable homogeneity. Perfectly preserved, it constitutes one of the city’s heritage treasures.

Small Italian theater with 550 seats, nestled in the heart of the city ... A first room preceded the current building, the city having built in 1792 a space until then dedicated to the game of palm to turn it into a theater. In the face of popular success, it soon proved too small. The architect Fragneau was then commissioned to rebuild it: he endowed the new building with a neoclassical facade all brick, crowned with a large triangular pediment. The capacity of the new hall, opened in 1849, was 528 spectators spread over four levels. Access was then through the rue de la Comedie, inconvenient because narrow. This situation will last until 1931. Thanks to the subsidies paid by the City of Paris to rebuild Montauban after the terrible floods of March 1930, a new facade was built, opening on the place Lefranc de Pompignan built in the late nineteenth century . The architects Jannin and Olivier composed a monumental entrance showing the elements of the Place Nationale (brick, semicircular arches, pilasters with projections, mirandes) and enhanced by four bas-reliefs by the sculptor André Abbal: La Musique, La Danse, La Comédie and Poetry.

Arrived in 1629 in the wake of Richelieu, the Jesuits acquired in 1676 a mansion on the northeastern limit of the city, to install their college and their chapel (current Saint-Joseph church) Modified then enlarged to several The building, with its austere architecture, is organized around two courtyards, to which gardens which have disappeared today responded. The building served as a foundry for cannons during the Revolution, then again became a college until 1961. It now houses the Department of Cultural Development, the dance conservatory, the tourist office and the heritage center. Opened in 2008, this new space presents a historic, architectural and sensitive portrait of the city.

Located on the 1st floor of the former Jesuit college under the City and Country of Art and History label, the Heritage Center offers visitors the opportunity to discover the history and heritage of Montauban. Opened in 2008, the heritage center is located around the main courtyard of the former Jesuit college. It brings together in one place the administration of the heritage service, an educational space for young audiences, a documentary resource center and two large exhibition rooms. The permanent exhibition "Montauban, portrait of a city" tells the story of the city's destiny from its founding until today, around a relief map of the territory. Deposits of objects from the collections of the Ingres Bourdelle museum and the Montauban hospital center enrich this visit. A children's area also offers treasure hunts, memory games and dominoes for a fun discovery of Montauban. This set is completed by thematic temporary exhibitions. The heritage center coordinates all of Montauban's initiatives under the City of Art and History label and offers guided tours, exhibitions, conferences and activities all year round for Montalbanians, tourists and schoolchildren.
