Beautiful church with south western gothic architecture and octagonal tower. It is located a short walk from the old Town in the saint cyprian area just to the west of the Garonne river and can be seen in the distance just over the bridge near hospice de la grave. At the time of visiting it was very peaceful and quiet, it is well worth a visit while in Toulouse.

Saint Nicolas Catholic Church in Toulouse is a beautiful small building that has a lot of history and charm. Keep in mind that the lighting inside is low and that natural light comes in through the high windows only. Your pictures might need more light to be clearer, but your visit will still be memorable.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
