Igreja de São Sebastião, Catholic church in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal.
The church combines Manueline and Baroque architectural styles, featuring ornate doorways and detailed cedarwood carvings throughout its interior structure.
Construction of the church took place between 1531 and 1547, replacing a smaller hermitage that previously occupied the location at Largo da Matriz.
The sacristy contains a collection of 16th-century embroidered vestments crafted with gold thread on tapestry, alongside furniture made from Jacaranda wood.
The church structure remains inaccessible to wheelchair users, and visitors should check mass schedules before planning their visits to the interior.
The interior displays rare wood carvings, including pieces made from ebony, complemented by 17th and 18th-century azulejo tile panels and religious statues.
