São Sebastião Chapel – Sardoal

 
The São Sebastião Chapel is formed by a nave and a narrow presbytery with gable roof and simple decoration. Appreciate, inside, the patron’s stone sculpture from the sixteenth-century. Until the 19th century, this was the only chapel in Sardoal considered to be for public use. 

São Sebastião is still worshipped today by the soldiers of the Colonial War. They continue to carry the wooden framework with the statue of the saint on the day of the celebration of the festivity in its honour, the second Sunday following 20 January.
