BASILICA SAN SEBASTIANO
An impressive church with remarkable sculptures and frescoes in piazza Vigo in Acireale.
Among the city's many religious buildings, the Church of San Sebastiano in Piazza Vigo is monumental, with its exuberant two-storey façade, preceded by a curvilinear balustrade supporting 10 sculptures. It was added during the restoration of the building in the 18th century, but the church was mostly built after the 1693 earthquake. The frescoes painted inside are the work of Pietro Paolo Vasta. From here, every 20th January, on San Sebastiano Day, a procession starts that takes the whole town along.
