In the Middle Ages, the city was a major cultural and religious center, with the construction of the Saint-Sernin basilica, which is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture. Over the centuries, Toulouse became a prosperous city thanks to its strategic position on the Garonne, which allowed the development of trade and industry.
