The Pont Neuf, French for "New Bridge" (a.k.a. Pont de Pierre and Grand Pont), is a 16th-century bridge in Toulouse, in the South of France. It spans La Garonne (the river Garonne) and original planning for the bridge started in 1542 by the assembly of a committee of master masons and carpenters. Construction started on the foundations in 1544; the first arch was started in 1614. The bridge was finished in 1632, and was inaugurated on 19 October 1659. The bridge is not symmetrical; the longest arch is the third from the right-hand bank. The openings through the piers were originally supposed to represent the face and mane of a lion. A triumphal archway added in 1686 constricted traffic and was removed in 1860. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pont_Neuf,_Toulouse
Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques (Hopital de la Grave) is a former hospital in Saint-Cyprien, Toulouse. Originally built to house plague victims in 1197 nothing is left of the original building. Already operating from the twelfth century on the left bank of the Garonne, it became the biggest Toulouse hospital after numerous extensions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The building became a registered and listed building in 1986 and 1988, and the last patients leave the building in 1987. It now houses the administrative center of Toulouse University Hospital, and the European Institute of Telemedicine, the European Centre research and skin coating epithelia as well as a medical history museum. Chapelle Saint Joseph de la Grave is the most photographed building in Toulouse! Its dome acts as a beacon for the city’s inhabitants, drawing the gaze by day and when it is dressed in lights at night. The marker of the Saint-Cyprien quarter, La Grave chapel was built around the XVIII Century on a gravel bank left by the River Garonne, which gives it its name. It was part of the La Grave Hospital, built in 1197 in order to accommodate plague victims. Its consecration to St Joseph, patron saint of carpenters, places the accent on the role it played during the XVII Century at the time of the Great Imprisonment of the poor. It then included numerous workshops designed to train the needy in the skills required to earn a placement with local artisans. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hôtel-Dieu_Saint-Jacques and www.toulouse-visit.com/chapelle-saint-joseph-de-la-grave/...
