Capitole de Toulouse

This is the City Hall built in the 14th century by the Capitouls.
It is a veritable palace with a beautiful pink façade 124 metres long. The Salle des Illustres is hung with 19th-century paintings.
The Cour Henri IV owes its name to the only statue made of the King of France and Navarre when he was alive.
The eight marble columns, designed in 1750, symbolise the eight town councillors.

Lovely structure, Steph, and well shown here. That style and design must have been somewhat ubiquitous in Europe around that era. I have seen it elsewhere, including when I lived in Münster, Westphalia. The Prince's Schloss has the same style I think.
