The Iglesia conventual de San Pablo or San Pablo de Valladolid is a church and former convent, of Isabelline style, in the city of Valladolid, in Castile and León, Spain. The church was commissioned by Cardinal Juan de Torquemada between 1445 and 1468. It was subsequently extended and refurbished until 1616. Kings Philip II and Philip IV of Spain were baptized in the church, and it was visited by Napoleon.[1] It is one of the buildings considered most emblematic of the city.

  1. ^ Napoleón stayed at the Royal Palace, located in front the church, on January 1809 during the Peninsular War (Spanish War of Independence).
