The Hospital
It is mentioned in 1262 in a suburb of the city on the road to Béziers. A hospital is a place of more than charity care. It is also a haven on the road to Saint Jacques. Its presence was invaluable during malarial crises of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, caused by proximity to the pond. The current building was rebuilt between 1746 and 1749.]
