Gothic palm-tree of Languedoc

This is a palm-tree vault in the apse of the church of the Dominican monastery in Toulouse (Conventuel des Jacobins, southern France). The Dominican order was introduced to Toulouse by St. Dominic himself in the early 13th century and the construction of the monastery with a church, cloisters, chapter house, and a refectory was carried on until early 14th century. The monastic church represents the Languedoc gothic style of architecture and is made entirely out of brick with two characteristic, equally high naves separated by just one row of columns. It is here that the tomb of the famous Dominican monk, a philosopher and thinker Thomas Aquinas is located.

Ps. To my utter surprise, the only information about the tomb of Thomas Aquinas within this church was an A4 printed sheet of paper attached to a string just next to it. It is a very beautiful place nonetheless.
