Templo de San Pablo el viejo, Renaissance temple in La Merced district, Mexico City, Mexico.

The Templo de San Pablo el Viejo presents Renaissance architectural features with a traditional east-west orientation and stone masonry construction techniques.

Built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, this temple replaced an earlier chapel funded by indigenous leader Andrés de Tapia Motelchiuhtzin.

The temple stands in the former Teopan neighborhood, which was a central area of Mexico-Tenochtitlan before Spanish colonization.

The building now functions as an auditorium within Hospital Juárez, making it accessible through the medical facility's main entrance.

In 1847, during the United States intervention in Mexico, the temple was temporarily converted into a military hospital.
