The Institute of Saint Paul's Old College Chapel, or Capella de l'Antic Col·legi de Sant Pau, was constructed between the 17th and 18th centuries as part of the Instituto Lluís Vives in Valencia. Established in 1562 as the Colegio de San Pablo Apóstol, it was the first College of Jesuitas in Spain. Over time, a seminary for nobles was added, creating a unique educational institution. The chapel retains its original architecture and is a part of the modern Institut Lluís Vives. The church is of a rectangular plan, with a general size of around 26 meters in length, 10 meters in width, and 15 meters in height. It has six chapels between the counterforts and two monumental staircases.
