Treaty of Barcelona, a pact of alliance between Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Pope Clement VII, was signed in Barcelona on June 29, 1529.[1]

Charles V and Pope Clement VII declared their intent to bring peace to Italy and to repel the Turkish advances.[2] In return for Charles V's commitment to restore the Medici in Florence, Pope Clement VII restored Charles V's investiture of Naples, receiving Ravenna, Modena and Rubiera.[3]
