The church of San Nicolás de Bari and San Pedro Mártir is probably the best example of the coexistence of a temple with a Gothic structure from the 15th century with Baroque decoration from the 17th century that we find in the city of Valencia.
The space occupied by the parish church of St. Nicholas has been considered sacred practically since the Roman foundation of the city. Apparently, a temple to pagan divinities was already dedicated to this area and it was a burial place outside the city walls, according to Roman custom.
Historical documents state that the first building was built in the time of King James I, who donated the place to the Dominicans who accompanied him. Years later, the Dominicans founded the Convent of Santo Domingo (now the Captaincy General building) and the temple was directly linked to the diocese of Valencia and the secular clergy. It was erected as a parish around 1242 and is included in the first twelve Christian parishes of the city of Valencia after the restoration of the Diocese in 1238.
