At the edge of the Arrabal neighbourhood, beyond the cluster of houses, is where you’ll find this hermitage, which was originally dedicated to Saint Anthony. In 1770, it was reconstructed and an image of Saint Sebastian that had previously been housed in the old hermitage in the Portela (Burgueira) neighbourhood was transferred to it, as states the well-known inscription on its lintel, as well as the documentation pertaining to the brotherhood of Saints Anthony and Sebastian.
