Abstract

During the French occupation, Valladolid was the scene of the proclamation of the king Ferdinand VII in October 1808. For the occasion an ephemeral architecture denominated Hall of Fame was built in the Plaza Mayor. It was reused in two more occasions, to celebrate the onomastics of Joseph Bonaparte in 1809 and due to his entry in the city in 1811. We present what its decoration consisted in and some facts about its use.
