Religious, Spiritual sights in San Sebastián De La Gomera

  1. A

    Iglesia de la Virgen de la Asunción

    Head up Calle Real to Iglesia de la Virgen de la Asunción, the site where Columbus and his men supposedly came to pray before setting off for the New World. The original chapel was begun in 1450 but was destroyed by a fire. The 18th-century church here today has three naves and mixes mudéjar (Islamic-style architecture), Gothic and baroque architectural styles.

  2. B

    Ermita de San Sebastián

    The humble Ermita de San Sebastián, which has little to recommend it other than its age (the chapel was built in 1540), is a few blocks further on.
