Iglesia de San Sebastián Mártir

概要

クイックファクト: The church's bell tower leans slightly, a quirk from settling foundations in the 17th century that locals affectionately call "the leaning tower of San Sebastián." Its main altarpiece features a 16th-century Flemish triptych depicting the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, brought here by Spanish nobility returning from the Low Countries.

見どころ: Every January 20th, the town fires 4,000 rockets from the church tower at dawn to honor Saint Sebastian, creating a thunderous spectacle that rattles windows across the plaza. The tradition dates to 1606, when villagers fired arquebuses into the air to scare away a plague, and has evolved into this uniquely loud celebration called the "Espectáculo Pirotécnico."

インサイダーヒント

• Stand at the southwest corner of the plaza to see the bell tower's lean most clearly against the sky.
• The triptych panels are closed on ordinary days; ask the caretaker if they can be opened for viewing.
• Morning light between 10 and 11 am streams through the rose window and illuminates the altarpiece best.
• Skip the midday visit on weekends when the church is busy with local weddings and baptisms.
