You can begin the tour around unique sights of the city with a visit to the Basilica of St Sernin. Since its foundation to the present day it continues to be the world's largest Romanesque church; the building is striking with its outstanding architectural style. The basilica was founded in the 11th century; a huge amount of priceless religious artifacts is kept within its walls. An old building has retained many elements of the wilderness, which makes it look even more fascinating. An interesting and unique attraction is the Le Chateau d'eau, the so-called old water tower. It was built in 1822 and has long been used for storing water. Today the beautiful tower is converted into a gallery.
