Ermita de Sant Sebastià, Hermitage church in Vic, Spain.
Ermita de Sant Sebastià is a small chapel standing on a hillside near Vic at approximately 770 meters elevation. The structure features a simple single-nave design with a square bell tower punctuated by four semicircular-arched windows.
The chapel was built during the 16th century plague outbreak and later gained significance as a local landmark. In 1705, leaders from the area signed a military agreement there against Philip V's rule.
The site hosts annual commemorations of the Vigatanos Pact, including the lighting of the Flame ceremony on May 7 and traditional community gatherings throughout the year.
The site can be reached through marked hiking trails, with a paved path constructed in 2014 that makes the journey easier. The elevated position provides walkers with good orientation points in the surrounding terrain.
From the chapel, views extend across landscapes stretching from Montseny to the Pyrenees mountains. This vantage point makes it a valuable location for understanding the region's natural geography.
