Basilica of St. Sebastian, Salvador

The Basilica of St. Sebastian is a Roman Catholic abbey church in Salvador, Bahia, built in the classicist style and attached to the Monastery of St. Benedict within the Archdiocese of São Salvador da Bahia. It holds the title of Basilica minor, a papal designation reserved for churches of particular liturgical and cultural significance. Its restrained classical facade stands in contrast to the exuberant Baroque that defines most of Salvador's historic religious architecture, though detailed records of its founding date and interior remain sparse in public sources.
