Paliano. Church of Saint Sebastian

The Church of Saint Sebastian in Paliano was purchased in 1083 by the abbot of Subiaco Giovanni V, who at that time bought several rural churches with the purpose to obtain annuities.

The purchase is reported in Subiaco Chronicles showing precisely the activity of the abbot who, in Paliano, had already bought the monasteries of Santo Stefano and San Pancrazio (perhaps the San Rocco church).

Next to the church there was a Benedictine monastery that had for a long time been used to bury the dead.

The church was destroyed by the bombings of World War II and then rebuilt.

The building consists of a single room and inside there is a painting by Giacomo Lisia representing the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.
