Hermitage of San Sebastián, Pico Sacro

All heritage
Hermitage of San Sebastián, Pico Sacro

 

A beautiful single-nave chapel on the slope of the legendary Pico Sacro, very close to the summit. From the original building, the granite presbytery altar (11th century) and the rubble altarpiece survive. The Romanesque main chapel keeps a pair of columns in the style of Master Mateo supporting a triumphal arch. Repairs and alterations to the vaults and roof followed in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the porch was built and the stone arch rebuilt. In 1998 the Council restored the whole building and improved the access and several footpaths on the mountain.
· Statues: two wooden sculptures of St Sebastian.
