Description: São Sebastião Church in Manaus, Amazon
Under the direction of Gesualdo Marchetti Lucas in 1888, the building of the Church of St. Sebastian, in Manaus, Amazonas state, is neoclassical, with some elements medievalists, and its interior is marked by stained glass panels and Europeans, and the style of the time. Intact, the paintings covering the ceiling down the aisle, including the dome and the walls, brought from Italy and posted on the site are written by Silvio Centofanti, Campanella and Francis Ballerini. The largest, painted by Ballerini, the ceiling at the entrance, shows the martyrdom of St. Sebastian, the base of the dome depicts the four evangelists, and the dome itself the "Glory of Heaven, " with eight angels. A side chapel, left, holds a crib-size (with a large camel) brought from Europe by a wealthy family champion. The facade of the Church of San Sebastian has only one bell ringer - the second was never built.
