Origin and history
The Larrey hospital came into being in 1793 when Major-Surgeon Alexis Larrey founded a first establishment in downtown Toulouse, near Place Saint-Pierre. Functional until the 1980s, this site now houses the regional conservation centre. Archaeological excavations carried out in 1988 reveal the remains of a large building of late antiquity, identified as the palace of wisigoth kings, as well as a section of the Gallo-Roman rampart dating back to the beginning of the first century (the Augustus or Tiberian kingdom). This bulwark, among the oldest of Roman Gaul, includes a courtine between two circular towers, partially preserved.
In 1984, the hospital was transferred to the current site of the Pech-David, in the district of Pouvourville, and took the name of CHR Hippolyte-Larrey, in tribute to the petit-neveu of Alexis Larrey, also a military doctor. The institution, initially military, was returned to civilian use in 2000 and integrated into the university hospital in Toulouse. The historic site of Place Saint-Pierre, for its part, is partially classified as historical monuments, notably for its facades, cloister, and Gallo-Roman remains (tours and courtine).
The current buildings of Larrey Hospital, specialized in pneumology, cancerology and chest surgery, are part of a medical continuity initiated more than two centuries ago. The archaeological site, with its remains from the fourth to the eighth century, bears witness to the strategic importance of Toulouse (then Tolosa) under the Wisigoths and during the Roman period. The protected elements also include a cloister gallery and the former cloister gallery, reflecting the architectural transformations of the 17th and 18th centuries.
