San Sebastian Square by elsadran
San Sebastian church sits in a peaceful little square where its beautiful tower is the prevailing view. The square was built in the 17th century as an open market marking the western limit of the historical center of the city. The church is one of the oldest churches in town. It has a nice carved door on its side. It was on this square that a notorious murder was committed when a member of the French Geodesic Expedition, who had come to measure the Equator, was murdered over his love affair with a local woman.
On the southern side of the square is the Museum of Modern Art.
