==Main sights==
* The [[Musée Ingres Bourdelle|Ingres-Bourdelle Museum]] is the old town hall and an [[Episcopium|episcopal]] palace built in 1664 at the initiative of Pierre de Bertier on the remains of the palace that the [[Edward the Black Prince|Black Prince]] occupied during the [[Hundred Years' War]]. Some of the rooms of the latter, in the basements, are open to visitors. The building houses works by two former residents: [[Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres]] and [[Antoine Bourdelle]].<ref>Viguier-Dutheil F. Le Musée Ingres Bourdelle: histoire et collections.

* The fortified church of Saint-Jacques. Of the second church built in the XIII-th century, only the Toulouse-style bell tower and part of the nave remain.<ref>Raymond Rey, «Une église de communauté laïque au XIIIe siècle : Saint-Jacques de Montauban », dans Annales du Midi, 1956, tome 68, no 34-35, p. 169-173</ref> In the XIVth century, the flat apse was replaced by a polygonal apse, while the city was going through a period of prosperity and the church became the seat of a parish. Transformed into a watchtower (bell tower), saltpeter manufacturing workshop (nave) and fort (choir) during the [[French Wars of Religion]], Saint-Jacques still bears traces of cannonballs from the siege of 1621 on its facade. After the Catholic reconquest (1629), [[Cardinal Richelieu]] ordered the identical reconstruction of the church. Once a cathedral (1629–1739), in the 18th century it was equipped with new side portals and a gallery. On the facade, the [[Romanesque Revival architecture|Neo-Romanesque]] portal topped with a mosaic dates from the XIX-th century.
* The [[Hôtel de Ville, Montauban|Hôtel de Ville]] (town hall) was commissioned as a private house and completed {{circa}} 1695.<ref>{{Base Mérimée|IA82100264}}</ref>
