The Convent of San Pablo is a sixteenth century former convent in Cuenca, Spain, that belonged to the Dominican Order. It stands on a promontory over the Huécar river facing the Hanging Houses. The church was finished in the eighteenth century, in rococo style. Since 1993 it houses a state-owned Parador hotel.[1]
