The baptismal font of San Pedro Regalado

Tradition holds that San Pedro Regalado, the patron saint of Valladolid, was baptized in 1390 in the baptismal font kept within the Iglesia del Santísimo Salvador. While some historians date the church's foundation to 1336, others point to documents from the late 12th century and 1208. Very little of the original structure remains, as the current building began construction in the late 15th century.

The church features a nave with five sections and a polygonal apse. A significant retablo from 1750, created by sculptor Fernando González de Lara, replaced a classicist retablo built between 1602 and 1614. This main altar features four large Corinthian columns and includes sculptures of Saint Sebastian and Saint Barbara. The nave, first constructed around 1500, was updated in 1631 to include a barrel vault with painted plasterwork and interior arches.

Several chapels built between the 15th and 18th centuries line the nave. The most notable is the chapel of San Juan Bautista, finished in 1492 by Gonzalo González de Illescas. This stone chapel contains an exceptional triptych from 1502, which features a central sculpture of Saint John the Baptist and portraits of the chapel's founders. The church also houses a romantic organ installed in 1918, built by the Casa Quintín Rufiner de Valladolid.
