The Iglesia de los Santos Justo y Pastor is a Catholic temple located in Cuenca de Campos, Valladolid, Castilla y León. It is a Renaissance-Mudéjar building constructed in the 16th century.
The temple features a three-aisle layout separated by Ionic order columns. The armaduras covering these aisles are considered the best in the province in Mudéjar art. Access to the church is provided through a lintel door preceded by a portico, leading into the Epistle aisle.
Inside, the bases of the columns supporting the roof were decorated during the Renaissance with busts representing the virtues. The main chapel highlights a polychrome artesonado with lacería and piñas de mocárabes. A brick tower of two bodies stands at the church, with the lower section housing a chapel covered by a Gothic cross vault.
The altarpiece, constructed around 1580, features carvings of the saints Justo and Pastor, among other works attributed to the artist Pedro de Bolduque.
