Chapel of St Sebastian in the church of Saint Sebastian outside the walls, or San Sebastiano ad Catacumbas Saint Sebastian at the Catacombs on the via Appia Antica in Rome, Italy. The statue of St Sebastian at the altar in the first chapel on the left is by Giuseppe Giorgetti. The dedication of the church to Sebastian dates to the 9th century. Sebastian`s remains were moved here around 350. They were transferred to St. Peter`s in 826, fearing a Saracen assault: the latter, in fact, materialized, and the church was destroyed.[6] The building was refunded under Pope Nicholas I 858–867, while the martyr`s altar was reconsecrated by Honorius III 1216–1227, by request of the Cistercians, who had received the place.
