Musée aménagé dans la base du clocher qui comprend 4 salles : le Trésor composé de pièces d’orfèvrerie, vases du XIXe siècle, paperoles et vêtements liturgiques, les 2 espaces à l’entrée de la Cathédrale ainsi que les salles anciennes.

Ce musée est l’œuvre de frères jumeaux, Elian et Xavier Da Silva, dont la passion pour les soldats est apparue dès leur plus tendre enfance. Au fil des ans, leur collection a pris tant d’importance que l’ouverture d’un musée autour des deux conflits mondiaux du XX° siècle, sous l’égide de leur association « Military Collection » s’est avérée inévitable. Elle compte aujourd’hui plus de 1200 pièces : unes de journaux, photos, affiches, correspondances, brassards, armes, uniformes, véhicules de l’armée américaine…etc.

Nestled in the City Hall’s remarkable vaulted cellars, it is undoubtedly one of the oldest Museums in France. It tells the story of the city’s rich Gallo-Roman past and harbour’s the greatest collection of sacrificial stones in France as well as numerous fossils, prehistoric pieces, Gallic vases, jewelry, amphoras, sarcophagus and other everyday objects perfectly preserved.

In addition, the first floor accommodates the “Salle des Illustres”, an Italian like gallery displaying numerous paintings.

The City Hall also hides the “III Salles” (three rooms), which include the reconstitution of a 19th century apothecary’s shop, a room dedicated to Marshal Lannes and another dedicated to Admiral Boué de Lapeyrère, who were both illustrious people from Lectoure.

M. de Lary is a poet-farmer and musketeer descendant. He transformed a part of his estate in a rural life museum. This passionate collector revives tools, machines and other items thanks to his detailed explanations and emphasizing on juicy little stories.

Go through the castle’s kitchen, cellar, dovecote and chapel retable from the 17th century.
