Hermitage of San Sebastián.

In front of the Parish of Santa Catalina stands this small chapel, currently integrated into the Juan Cristóstomo Mangas Elderly Residence. Its construction, associated with the hospital of the same name, had to be carried out around 1582, the date of the constitutions of the brotherhood that managed it.

With a single nave, its interest lies in the richly decorated coverings, consisting of two sections of lowered barrel vaults with lunettes, to which a third ribbed section corresponding to the presbytery is added. Its entire surface is covered with murals of vegetal motifs in gold complemented with stucco at certain points, and the hand of Cecilio Antonio Franco Roldán is evident in its execution.

The small altarpiece presiding over the chapel is a baroque style from the 18th century centered on an image of the crucified Christ of academic size from the early 17th century, flanked by paintings of the childhood of Christ, with a small image of the titular saint in the attic.
