Church of S. Sebastiano
It is a small Renaissance church in the historic center of Lecce. It was built in 1520 in honor of S. Sebastiano, patron saint of plague victims.
The church was built on the site of a former rupestrian church dedicated to the Saints Leonardo, Rocco and Sebastiano, brought to light in 1762.
Towards the end of the 18th century was built the adjoining convent of the Capuchins, called Le Pentite.
