Church of San Sebastiano

Local nameChiesa di San Sebastiano
LocationMantua, Italy

San Sebastiano is an Early Renaissance church in Mantua, northern Italy.

Begun in 1460 according to the designs of Leon Battista Alberti, it was left partially completed in the mid-1470s, by which time construction had slowed and was no longer being directed by Alberti. As a consequence, little remains of Alberti’s work apart from the plan, which is considered one of the earliest and most significant examples of Renassiances centrally-planned churches. The plan is in the shape of a Greek cross, with three identical arms centering apses, under a central cross-vaulted space without any interior partitions.
