The Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques, administrative seat of the University Hospital of Toulouse, is an architectural complex built on the banks of the Garonne river inherited from several centuries. Born of the Hôpital Sainte-Marie de la Daurade and the Hôpital Novel in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, both united under the name of "Hôpital Saint-Jacques du bout du Pont" in the fourteenth century, it was intended to welcome the poor, the sick and the pilgrims who crossed the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela. Together with its neighbour the Saint-Joseph de La Grave Hospital, it constitutes the «place of memory» of the Public Hospital and represents one of the most prestigious historical heritage of Toulouse. At the end of these centuries devoted to health care, the Hôtel-Dieu saw the last hospital services go to the other institutions of the city in 1987\\. By inscribing the Ways of Santiago de Compostela as a World Heritage Site in 1998, UNESCO has selected the Hotel-Dieu Saint-Jacques
