Pimentel Palace
Palacio de Pimentel
The noble residence where Philip II was born, with a corner window bearing an inscription of his birth; today it houses the Provincial Council.
In 1527, King Philip II of Spain was born in this mansion. The most famous detail is the Gothic-Plateresque corner window, and a commemorative plaque is set on the wall. The palace now houses the Provincial Council of Valladolid. The courtyard and some exhibition rooms are open free of charge, temporary exhibitions are often held, and inside there is a tile mural telling the story of Philip II's birth. It stands on one corner of Plaza de San Pablo, next to the Church of San Pablo and the Royal Palace, and takes only a few minutes to see.
