San Juan y San Pedro de Renueva, Neo-Renaissance church in León, Spain

San Juan y San Pedro de Renueva is a Neo-Renaissance church built in León between 1947 and 1953 by architect Juan Crisóstomo Torbado. It has a Latin-cross plan with three naves of three bays, the central one wider and taller, barrel vaults with lunettes, and a coffered dome on pendentives over the crossing. The twin towers of the main façade rise 40 m.

The church was built between 1947 and 1953 according to designs by architect Juan Crisóstomo Torbado following a bishop's initiative. A distinctive feature is a Baroque portal from 1711 that was relocated from ruins elsewhere.

The name joins two saints, John and Peter, in a single parish. The five empty niches of the 1711 portal once held statues: Adrian and Natalia below, Benedict, Bernard and, in the centre, Peter, patron of Eslonza. Since 25 June 2023 the main altar has held a rosary-mysteries retable by Helena Giménez Balmorí.

The church stands in the Renueva district, at the coordinates 42.60384, -5.57622, and is an active parish, so visits should be planned around worship times. The 1711 portal is on the main facade, between the two 40 m towers, and the four 16th-century portals from Eslonza are set around the exterior and at the inner entrance.

The Baroque portal was made in 1711 by Fray Pedro Martínez de Cardeña for the monastery of San Pedro de Eslonza, 22 km away in Gradefes. Its five niches are empty: they once held Saints Adrian and Natalia below, and Benedict, Bernard and Peter above. Four 16th-century doorways and carved stones from the same monastery are also built into the church.
