ES: "Frente al Ayuntamiento cordobés se sitúa la imponente iglesia de San Pablo. Construida entre los siglos XIII y XIV acusa, sin embargo, importantes reformas del siglo XVIII. La fachada exterior se abre a la calle Capitulares con una portada de movidas columnas salomónicas. La torre conserva uno de los tres carillones mejor conservados de toda España. Tras el compás se vislumbra la portada de corte manierista que da acceso al templo de tres naves. En el interior sobresalen el artesonado con decoración mudéjar, el retablo mayor y la qubba o edificio abovedado (posiblemente restos de un palacio almohade sobre los que se construyó la iglesia)."

EN: "In front of Cordoba Town Hall stands the impressive church of San Pablo. It was built between the 13th and 14th centuries, but was heavily reformed in the 18th. The main façade opens out onto calle Capitulares and the main entrance has spiralling columns known as Salomonica. The tower has one of the three best preserved bell-towers in the whole of Spain. Past the yard at the entrance, the main door can be seen, which is Mannerist in style and leads to the church itself, which is divided into three naves. The most striking features on the inside are the decorative ceilings in Mudejar style, the main altarpiece and the vaulted building or qubba (possibly remains of an Almohad palace over which the church was built)."
