Iglesia Parroquial de San Sebastián - Estepa, Sevilla, España - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

"El origen de la iglesia de San Sebastián no está muy claro, aunque se comienza a citar en 1498.

De planta basilical, fue construida en el siglo XVI según los planos del arquitecto genovés Vicente Boyo.
Consta de tres naves y capillas laterales y podemos destacar el púlpito y el altar mayor, así como sus portadas.

Tiene dos puertas, la principal es renacentista y está flanqueada por dos enormes contrafuertes. Debemos apuntar que la portada pertenece a la desaparecida Iglesia de la Victoria.

La segunda de las puertas está en uno de los laterales y es a través de ella por la que hacen su entrada y salida todas las hermandades que se albergan en dicha parroquia.

También debemos admirar su preciosa torre-campanario, cuyo acceso se encuentra en el exterior de la iglesia.

De estilo renacentista en su origen, pero con añadidos debidos a las diferentes remodelaciones, esta parroquia guarda en su interior joyas del barroco, tales como imágenes de Martínez Montañés y Pedro Roldán o una colección de pinturas de la Escuela de Amberes."

"The origin of the church of San Sebastián is not very clear, although it begins to be mentioned in 1498.

With a basilica plan, it was built in the 16th century according to the plans of the Genoese architect Vicente Boyo.
It consists of three naves and side chapels and we can highlight the pulpit and the main altar, as well as its doorways.

It has two doors, the main one is Renaissance and is flanked by two enormous buttresses. We must point out that the cover belongs to the disappeared Church of Victory.

The second of the doors is on one of the sides and it is through it that all the brotherhoods that are housed in said parish make their entry and exit.

We must also admire its beautiful bell tower, whose access is located outside the church.

Originally Renaissance in style, but with additions due to different remodeling, this parish houses baroque jewels, such as images by Martínez Montañés and Pedro Roldán or a collection of paintings from the Antwerp School."
