San Sebastian Church, Baroque church in central Madrid, Spain.
San Sebastian Church exhibits ornamental stone carvings on its facade, symmetrical bell towers, and detailed religious sculptures throughout its exterior design.
The church construction began in 1693, replacing an earlier structure from 1541 that served as a sanctuary along the path to Nuestra Señora de Atocha.
The parish archives contain records of notable figures, including Miguel de Cervantes, who died nearby, and playwright Lope de Vega, whose remains rest within.
The church opens its doors for religious services, with main entrances on both Calle Atocha and Calle Huertas in Madrid's historic district.
During the Spanish Civil War, the building served as an ammunition depot until 1936, when it suffered extensive damage from aerial bombardment.
