St Martin Church

7th-11th century

Mentioned in an 11th century document, St Martin has longobard roots. Located about two metres below ground level, it bears witness to centuries of history. Dedicated to the bishop of Tours, it was a relevant cult during longobard rule. It is built with the opus incertum technique, using stones of different sizes held together by mortar, creating an irregular pattern. An initial single-apsidal structure with three naves separated by columns is assumed to date back to between the 6th and 7th centuries, modified until the late Middle Ages. Thanks to the will of the local authorities, Bishop Pichierri, Barnabite Prof. Enrico Sironi and Bishop Siluan, Bishop of the Romanian Orthodox Diocese of Italy, the Church was entrusted to the Romanian Orthodox Metropolia of Western and Southern Europe and was erected a Parish under the Patronage of St Clement Roman.
