Church of San Ildefonso, Valladolid, église espagnole
Church of San Ildefonso is a modern Catholic church in Valladolid completed in 1968. The building is made primarily of brick with clean lines and simple forms, and it houses inside reliefs from the 1600s and a stone section from an earlier facade preserved as a historical element.
The church was rebuilt after the Second Vatican Council and completed in 1968, following the demolition of the previous building from 1606 in 1965. A section of the older stone facade was integrated into the new church as a historical element.
The church is named after Abbot Alonso Enríquez of Valladolid and reflects the religious importance of the neighborhood. It brings together modern design with historical pieces from earlier buildings, showing how this place has served the community through different periods.
The building is located near the Pisuerga river in the southern part of Valladolid in a neighborhood with a grid street pattern. The site is accessible on foot and its modern, straightforward design makes it easy to navigate.
The lower part of the stone facade from 1624 of the original Augustinian convent church was saved and now serves as the backdrop behind the altar in the modern church. This unusual approach brings together two different periods of architecture within a single space.
