The Church of San Lesmes Abad is one of the most emblematic churches in Burgos, both for its historical significance and its connection to the Camino de Santiago.
It was built in the 14th century, following the order of John I of Castile in 1383 to demolish the old hermitage of San Juan, where the tomb of San Lesmes, patron saint of Burgos, was located.
San Lesmes (Adelelmo de Burgos) was a Benedictine monk who dedicated his life to caring for pilgrims and the sick. He died in 1097, and his remains rest in this church.
