Ermita de San Sebastián, Hermitage church near Genil River in Granada, Spain
The Ermita de San Sebastián is a small chapel located at the end of Paseo del Violon near the Exhibition Palace in Granada. It features a four-sided roof and a modest bell tower that define the simple character of this religious building.
The building was constructed in 1218 during Almohad rule as a place of prayer. It later gained significance during Granada's Christian conquest in 1492 when important political events took place there.
The name refers to Saint Sebastian, a significant figure in Christian tradition. Visitors can see inside how the space was adapted for Christian worship through its distinctive dome design.
Plan your visit for Friday or Sunday mornings when the chapel is most accessible to visitors. Keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so hours may be limited and services take priority.
This is one of the few surviving prayer rooms from the Almohad period in Spain. The building retains its original square floor plan and characteristic horseshoe-shaped entrance arch that reflect its earlier religious purpose.
