Church of San Sebastiano in Cautano

  • Visit: about 20 min
  • 311 m

Confraternity church of 1694 in Piazza Corticella, Cacciano di Cautano, with a nave and two aisles and a Martyrdom of St Sebastian.

In the hamlet of Cacciano, in Piazza Corticella, stands the confraternity church of San Sebastiano, built in 1694. It has a rectangular plan divided into a nave and two aisles and an austere gabled façade decorated with exposed stone, in which two lintelled doors open onto the side aisles. We like its sobriety, which suits the intimate character of the village well.Inside, the nave and aisles are covered by lunetted barrel vaults, separated by depressed arches. Among the works preserved here, a Martyrdom of St Sebastian attributed to Castellano stands out. We recommend combining the visit with the nearby Church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo, which faces the same square: in just a few steps you cross two centuries of Cautano's religious history.
