In the heart of Haute-Garonne lies the city of Toulouse, which was named so by the Romans when they conquered it between 120 and 100 BC.
Later under the reign of Emperor Augustus the city was moved a few kilometers from the hills to the banks
of the Garonne.
The first bishop of Toulouse was Saturninus, venerated as a holy martyr by the Catholic Church because after his refusal to sacrifice to Capitoline Jupiter was tied by the pagan residents to the neck of a bull, which running away angry, he tortured him to death in 257 AD. C.

The basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse was built on the site where his remains were found.
Starting from the 12th century, a new conception of Christianity developed in this region of France,
in disagreement with the Roman Catholic Church: Catharism, but the followers of this new religion were persecuted and condemned en masse.
Construction work on the Pont Neuf began in 1544, interrupted in 1560 by the Wars of Religion, resumed
only in 1632 and inaugurated in 1659 by King Louis XIV.
