If
you do not opt for the several hours' contemplation of the
Calvary, turn west at the cathedral portal and you will soon
find yourself in front of the church of St. Sebastian,
protector from the plague. The inscription above the harmonious
High Renaissance portal reveals the year 1562 as the year
of foundation, and Ivan Dotić as its founder. However, there
are some indications that this place of worship might be of
an even much earlier date. Several similar small churches
had existed in the Old Town, but were ruined after the brotherhoods
that supported them ceased to exist.
