Ermita de San Sebastian church is found in a small town of San Sebastian de La Gomera, in the Canary Islands of Spain. Ermita de San Sebastian is a sacred religious place. This scenic and historical temple is devoted to San de Sebastian de Narbona, an old benefactor of the small municipality of San Sebastian de La Gomera.

Ermita de San Sebastian temple was originally constructed in 1535 in the supervision of Bobadilla and Don Guillen Peraza de Ayala. Portuguese architectural influence can be easily found in this temple. It is explicit in arch columns that provides access to the chapel. This church was attacked by pirates in 1618 and was destroyed partially which was later on rebuilt. An image of San Sebastian is displayed which factually dates back to the 18th century. The church was built with the efforts of local workshops.

A festival is celebrated in January every year over here. Some religious acts, the parent parish of the town, and the transfer of the image of the saint to the main church of assumption are some its main things. Then finally on 20th January, the image is sent back to the Ermita de San Sebastian.
