The Basilica of Saints Justus and Pastor ({{langx|ca|Església dels Sants Just i Pastor}}) is a basilica in Barcelona, Catalonia.{{Cite web|url=http://catholicbarcelona.com/2014/03/01/sants-just-i-pastor/|title=Sants Just i Pastor|date=March 2014}} In 1948 this church became the sixth in Barcelona to receive the rank of minor basilica, a title that was granted by Pope Pius XII.
History
The construction of the Gothic church began on February 1 of 1342 and lasted until 1574. Bernaus, M. Sants Just i Pastor of Barcelona inside L'Art Gòtic a Catalunya: Arquitectura I. Barcelona, 2002. Publisher Enciclopèdia Catalana. {{ISBN|84-412-0887-5}} It was built on the old Romanesque church and the site of the former chapel of Sant Celoni. In 1363 the first three sections of the nave were finished, the vault of the feet would be finished in the following century.
The construction of the façade and the belfry lasted until the 16th century, and the master builders Pere Blai, {{ill|Joan Safont|ca|Joan Safont i Plumed|es}} and Joan Granja participated.
During the 19th century the choir passed from the center of the nave to the apse, and for this the altar was moved forward. The façade was also reconstructed in Gothic Revival style between the years 1880 and 1887,{{citation|url=https://basilicasantjust.cat/lexterior-de-la-basilica/|title=L'exterior de la basílica|author=Basílica dels Sants Just i Pastor Website}} the work of {{ill|Josep Oriol Mestres|arz|چوسيپ_اوريول_ميستريس_اى_اسپلوجاس|ca|Josep Oriol Mestres i Esplugas|es}}. Other reforms were the one of the chapel of the Santíssim in 1904 by {{ill|August Font i Carreras|arz|اوجوسانت_فونت_اى_كاريراس|ca||es||fr}}, when in 1944 the polychromy of the nave and the vaults of the 19th century were eliminated. In 1946 it was restored to the orders of the architect {{ill|Jeroni Martorell i Terrats|arz|چيرونى_مارتوريل_اى_تيراتس|ca||es|Jeroni Martorell|}}.
