Templo de San Sebastián, Colonial temple ruins on San Gregorio hill in Chiapa de Corzo, Mexico.
The temple structure displays a three-nave layout divided by arches, with its remaining apse and facade showcasing architectural elements of the colonial period.
Built during the 17th century, the temple served as Fort Independence during the battle of October 21, 1863, marking its role in regional conflicts.
The temple's Mudéjar architecture combines Islamic and Christian design elements, reflecting the cultural exchange between Spain and the New World during colonization.
Visitors can access the temple ruins by climbing San Gregorio hill, which provides a panoramic view of the urban landscape and Grijalva River.
The structure maintains its original facade-altarpiece design with niches between pillars, despite natural disasters that caused partial collapses in 1993.
