Igreja de São Sebastião, Church building in São Gonçalo de Lagos, Portugal

The Igreja de São Sebastião stands on a hill behind the Municipal Market, featuring three naves separated by Doric column arches and multiple gilded side chapels.

Construction of the church began in the second half of the 15th century during a plague outbreak in Lagos, as Saint Sebastian was considered a protector against disease.

The church maintains regular religious services and ceremonies, connecting the local population through traditional Catholic practices and annual Saint Sebastian celebrations.

Located on Rua Conselheiro Joaquim Machado, the church opens Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 6 PM and Sunday from 10 to 11 AM.

The church houses a Capela dos Ossos (Chapel of Bones) and contains artifacts discovered from a field mass held by King Sebastian before his expedition to Morocco.
