==Other capitols==

The Capitole de Toulouse is the seat of the municipal administration of [[Toulouse]]. The Capitouls (governing magistrates) of Toulouse embarked on the construction of the original building in 1190, to provide a seat for the government of a province growing in wealth and influence. The name ''Capitole'' referred not only to the Roman Capitol but also to the ''capitulum'' which was the [[chapter (religion)|chapter]] of the governing magistrates. The current façade dates from 1850, built according to plans by Guillaume Cammas. The eight columns represent the original eight capitouls. In 1873, [[Eugène Viollet-le-Duc]] built a belltower typical of the style of northern France. Only the Henri IV courtyard and gate survive from the original mediaeval buildings. Today the Capitole houses the city hall, as well as an opera company and symphony orchestra. The ''Salle des Illustres'' contains 19th century artworks.
