San Esteban, Valencia, Gothic church in Valencia, Spain.

San Esteban is a small Gothic parish church near Valencia Cathedral, with a single nave and chapels set between buttresses. Its plain exterior has gargoyle-topped buttresses, a simple door onto the Plaça de Sant Esteve and a bell tower at the foot. Inside, plasterwork and sgraffito cover the pilasters and arches, with white plant motifs on a blue ground.

St. Stephen's is one of the oldest churches in Valencia, built in Gothic style on the site of a mosque from the Muslim period. A legend holds that the site once held a Roman temple to Hercules. In the 17th century the church was profoundly altered in Baroque style, and the cross vaults were rebuilt between round arches.

San Esteban was the notaries' church, and their guild funded the chapels at the foot of the nave in 1682. In their centre stands the baptismal font where Saint Vincent Ferrer and Saint Louis Bertrand were baptized, a favoured spot for Valencia's baptisms. Every 22 January the baptism of Saint Vincent Ferrer is reenacted here.

The main church opens only on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, while the chapel is open daily for mass. The entrance faces the Plaça de Sant Esteve, close to Valencia Cathedral. Visitors should dress appropriately for a place of worship.

The main altarpiece held Juan de Juanes's Last Supper and his scenes of Saint Stephen's martyrdom, painted around 1562. Charles IV acquired the panels around 1800, and they now hang in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, so the church itself no longer displays them.
