The brotherhood of San Sebastiano had its seat here since 1504. In 1572 the people attributed to the saint the miracle of having freed them from the plague, declaring him a patron of Militello. Destroyed in 1693, the church was rebuilt by incorporating the ancient portal into the facade. On the main altar, framed by a baroque chapel (1708), is the statue of San Sebastiano with a wooden fercolo, while the silver reliquary is found with other precious ones near the Treasure of Santa Maria della Stella.
