I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum.

Does anybody know if anybody knows where St. Sebastian was shot with arrows and also the place he was martyred? I’m going to Rome and would like to visit those spots
 
When he was found out, Sebastian was arrested and sentenced to death. Pierced by multiple arrows, he was left to die, still tied to a tree. Irene, a fellow Christian and the widow of St. Castulus, found Sebastian still alive and nursed him back to health.

Instead of hiding his recovery and leaving Rome as soon as he was recovered, Sebastian went back to court to accuse Diocletian of all the cruelties of his actions. This time, taking no chances, Diocletian had Sebastian beaten to death. The date of his death was probably in AD 288. He was buried in the Ad Catacumbas on the Via Appia.

Thank you, but do you know the locations where he was shot and later killed?
