The Church of San Sebastian Martin dating from the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, in the late fifteenth century, when the neighbors decide to build Bottom Carabanchel of his church in the place it now occupies.

San Sebastian was a second-century Roman martyr and begged that as a protector against the plague.

On December 30, 1495 the City of Madrid accords solar Down Carabanchel Council for the construction of their church. The original church was of brick Moorish style with three naves covered with paneling Plateresque. In the seventeenth century underwent a profound transformation to suit the Baroque Madrid. In 1691 the ships covered with vaults that hide the paneling above. Inside is decorated with pilasters and Corinthian capitals and gets up the tower with a spire of slate, still preserved today. He added two side chapels dome: San Jose and Carmen. This building was destroyed in July 1936. With the fire lost altarpieces, carvings, paintings and the parish archives. During the period 1943 - 1948 took charge of the reconstruction project of the church DG Regions Devastated by the architect Ignacio Fiter Clave, in the same place and with the same dimensions as the old temple. This church was dedicated on January 20, 1948 by Auxiliary Bishop Casimiro Morcillo.

The present church has three naves, the central of greater width and height. The head is covered with high lantern dome on pendentives. The facades are of brick and masonry covered with a stucco finish. The main entrance houses a stone sculpture of San Sebastian. The other cover, which opens the space for the ship Carabanchel the Gospel and has a stone sculpture of Our Lady of Antigua. The Tower is the one erected in the seventeenth century.

The church is home to three fraternities: The Brotherhood of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Holy Christ recumbent, the Brotherhood of Santiago and the Brotherhood of San Jose, leaving the holiday procession del Carmen, Santiago and Easter.

La Iglesia de San Sebastián Mártir data del reinado de los Reyes Católicos, a finales del siglo XV, cuando los vecinos de Carabanchel de Abajo deciden edificar su iglesia en el lugar que hoy ocupa.

San Sebastián fue un mártir romano del siglo II y al que se rogaba como protector contra la peste.

El 30 de diciembre de 1495 el Concejo de Madrid concede un solar al Concejo de Carabanchel de Abajo para la construcción de su iglesia. La primitiva iglesia era de estilo mudéjar de ladrillo con tres naves cubiertas con artesonado plateresco. En el siglo XVII sufre una profunda transformación para adecuarlo al barroco madrileño. En 1691 se cubren las naves con bóvedas que ocultan el anterior artesonado. Se decora el interior con pilastras y capiteles corintios y se levanta la torre con un chapitel de pizarra, que hoy todavía se conserva. Se le añaden dos capillas laterales con cúpula: la de San José y la del Carmen. Este edificio fue destruido en julio de 1936. Con el incendio se perdieron retablos, tallas, cuadros y el archivo parroquial. Durante el periodo 1943 - 1948 se hace cargo del proyecto de reconstrucción de la iglesia la Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas según proyecto del arquitecto Ignacio Fiter Clavé, en el mismo lugar y con las mismas dimensiones que el antiguo templo. Esta iglesia fue bendecida el 20 de enero de 1948 por el Obispo Auxiliar Casimiro Morcillo.
