The Church of Saint Sebastian (English: Igreja de São Sebastião) is a religious temple owned by the Archdiocese of Manaus. It is located on 10 de Julho Street and its main facade faces the Largo de São Sebastião, in the center of the city of Manaus. Inaugurated in 1888 and converted into a parish in 1912, the church is one of the oldest in the city. In 1988, it was listed as a Historical Heritage Site by the Amazonas State Council for the Defense of Historical and Artistic Heritage - CEDPHA.[1]
After more than 130 years, the church still stands out for its devotion to hundreds of Catholics, privileged location and eclectic style, with elements of several different genres, such as Gothic and Neoclassical. Its interior is characterized by European panels and stained glass windows, typical of the beginning of the rubber cycle in the state.[2]
