The capitol square in Toulouse. We never did learn what this was the capitol of.

The square is called "Place du Capitol" because it was the main square when the Romans where still in Occitania. Topographically the elevation goes up from the river, so "CAPITOL".

I think you've confused these two very different words: capital and capitol. Definition of "capitol": Any large building housing the legislative branches of a government. In this case, the Capitol in Toulouse is where the mayor of Toulouse is based.
