Hopital la Grave Toulouse

Sitting on almost six hectares of land, the Hopital la Grave is considered the second major hospital and the main maternity center in Toulouse during the better part of the twentieth century. The hospital got its name from the strike during the time when it was constructed right along the Garonne. During the Middle Ages, the medical center catered to people who were sick with fever. In 1674, it dealt with those who were mentally ill. Prostitutes and beggars were also being treated in the hospital. The Hopital la Grave was first mentioned in a charter of Raymond IV in 1197. Aside from its aim to treat the sick, you can see that the hospital's history makes visiting it as among the worthwhile activities in Toulouse that you could do.
