The Temple of San Sebastiano is a late-Renaissance or Mannerist style church in central Milan.The cylindrical church is shaped like a can capped with a dome. The octagonal church was commissioned in 1576 after the end of a season of plague dedicated to St Sebastian. The non-linear layout is atypical for post-Tridentine churches. Perhaps the site which had housed an earlier medieval church or sanctuary dedicated to San Quilino dictated the shape.
