Iglesia de San Lesmes Abad, a Roman Catholic church in Burgos, Spain, lies adjacent to the Camino de Santiago in Plaza de San Juan. Built in the Gothic style in the 14th century, it contains the remains of Adelelmus of Burgos, the city's patron who died in 1106. The church underwent restoration in 2012-13. A 900-year-old mystery surrounding the exact circumstances of Adelelmus' death adds an enigmatic touch to the otherwise historic building.
