Probably the most scenic church in Acireale.
Basilica di San Sebastiano的点评
点评：The official website of the Municipality of Acireale, under the heading "The Church of San Sebastiano", flatly states that this is "the most important church in Acireale".
It's difficult to give definitive words on this matter, and in particular, it's debatable whether the "mother church" (i.e., the nearby cathedral) is less important than the church of San Sebastiano. It's probably true, however, that San Sebastiano is the more scenic, thanks to its elaborate late-Baroque façade and equally elaborate balustrade featuring sculptures of Old Testament figures such as David, Jonah, Joshua, Eleazar, Moses, Aaron, Malachi, Joseph, Daniel, and Samson.
The façade-balustrade ensemble, made of white limestone from the Syracuse area and recently cleaned of traffic smog, is undoubtedly striking and can easily be imagined as a "stone lace". The short span of time in which the complex was built (1699-1705 for the façade, 1754 for the balustrade) and the absence of subsequent interventions (unlike the cathedral) produce an image of great stylistic coherence.
Obviously, as the construction dates indicate, this church is part of the urban and architectural reconstruction of eastern Sicily after the disastrous 1693 earthquake.
Another strong point of interest for this church is that it represents perhaps the most important surviving testimony to the work of Pietro Paolo Vasta (1697-1760), a painter born in Acireale and very active, especially in the province of Catania. In fact, in addition to having provided the designs for the statues mentioned above (created by the sculptor Giovan Battista Marino), Vasta frescoed the large cycle of the "Stories of Saint Sebastian" inside the church (choir and transept) as well as biblical subjects in the tambour and vaults of the dome.

翻译：阿奇雷亚莱市的官方网站在“圣塞巴斯蒂安教堂”这一栏目中直截了当地指出，这是“阿奇雷亚莱最重要的教堂”。
关于这一点很难下定论；尤其是“主教堂”（即附近的大教堂）是否不如圣塞巴斯蒂安教堂重要，尚存争议。不过，圣塞巴斯蒂安教堂的景观更为优美，这一点或许确为事实。得益于其精心设计的巴洛克晚期风格立面，以及同样精美的栏杆——后者上刻有大卫、约拿、约书亚、以利亚撒、摩西、亚伦、玛拉基、约瑟、但以理和参孙等《旧约》人物的雕像。
这一由锡拉库萨地区产的白石灰岩制成的立面与栏杆组合无疑十分引人注目，完全可以被称为“石制蕾丝”。该建筑群的建造周期也相当短暂（立面部分于1699年至1705年间建成）。栏杆的建造时间可追溯至1754年，且此后再无任何改建（这一点与大教堂的情况不同），这些因素共同造就了其风格高度统一的整体形象。
显然，从建造时间来看，这座教堂属于1693年地震后西西里岛东部地区城市与建筑重建工程的一部分。
这座教堂的另一个显著价值在于：它或许是现存最能体现皮耶特罗·保罗·瓦斯塔（1697–1760）艺术成就的实物见证。他是一位出生于阿奇雷阿莱的画家，十分活跃，尤其在卡塔尼亚省。事实上，除了为上文提到的雕像（由雕塑家乔万·巴蒂斯塔·马里诺创作）提供设计图外，瓦斯塔还在教堂内（唱诗班席与耳堂）绘制了大型壁画系列《圣塞巴斯蒂安的故事》，并在圆顶的鼓座与拱顶上描绘了各类圣经题材。
