Church of San Sebastián, Agüimes, Neoclassical church in Agüimes, Spain.

The Church of San Sebastián in Agüimes is a neoclassical parish church begun in 1787 to plans by canon and architect Diego Nicolás Eduardo. It has three naves with barrel vaults carried on Tuscan columns and round arches; over the crossing, on pendentives, rises a dome with twelve windows in its drum.

Construction of the church began in the late 1700s and continued through several phases until the 1940s, with different sections being completed over many decades. This extended building process reflected the resources and priorities of the community across multiple generations.

The parish church bears the name of San Sebastián, patron saint of the town, and is the seat of the parish of the villa de Agüimes. Its dedication links the building to the town's religious calendar, and the church remains the parish matrix from which the local cult is organised.

The church is located in central Agüimes on Calle de San Sebastián and is easily accessible on foot from the town center. You can visit during regular service times, but it is also often open at other times, so you can step inside to see the interior and the dome without planning ahead.

The dome's twelve windows are not tied to the apostles in the sources; what stands out is the dome itself, raised on pendentives over the crossing arches and described as the only one of its kind in the Canary Islands. Its designer was the canon and architect Diego Nicolás Eduardo, who drew the plans in 1787.
