"Palm Tree" Column, Couvent des Jacobins, Toulouse

Convent of the Augustines (Couvent des Jacobins), Toulouse, France. A monastic complex consisting of the large Church of the Jacobins, commanded by a dominant tower, a cloister and a convent. The church, built between 1230 and 1385, features a stunning "palm" ceiling, with the groin vaults banding up from the 22-meter high columns in a shape similar to a palm tree's fronds, polychrome painting on the walls and columns, and vivid modern stained-glass windows, installed in 1955. St. Thomas Aguinas is also buried here and the church is dedicated to him. The cloister/monastery dates to 1306-1309 and features Gothic arches atop gray marble columns with capitals carved with the images of plants. Opening onto the cloister is the Chapel of St. Antonin (1335-1341), painted in polychrome tempura with images of the Apocolypse and dark blue stained-glass windows with white lilies.
