Iglesia San Martín de Tours de Sechura, Colonial church in Sechura, Peru.

The Iglesia San Martín de Tours de Sechura stands on the south side of the Plaza de Armas, a late-Baroque church with two 44 m towers and a facade of salomonic columns. Its Latin-cross plan measures 72 m long by 32 m wide, with three entrances; inside are a carved wooden pulpit, a main altar made by hand from tree trunks, and balconies once used by distinguished parishioners.

The old church was destroyed by a flood in 1728, and work on the new building began in 1729, when 4,000 pesos and 8 reales were sent to Father Roque Rodríguez de Arenas. The church was consecrated on 30 May 1778 by Archbishop Pedro José Barroeta. In 1819 Thomas Cochrane let his soldiers plunder it, and in 1824 Simón Bolívar collected the church's silver.

The church keeps the matraca used on Good Friday and the bell rung at Corpus Christi, both shown in the Sala de Arte Religioso alongside two old wooden Christs. The main bell of the Gospel tower was donated in 1745 by vicar Roque Rodríguez de Arenas. The name honours Saint Martin of Tours, patron of the town.

The building sits near the town square and is easy to reach from the town center. Be aware that access may be restricted during religious services or special events.

The right tower holds a four-dial public clock bought in New York in 1901 and brought by raft from Guayaquil by the Comité Juventud Sechura. The left tower was demolished after the 1912 earthquake cracked it. Inside, the Sala de Arte Religioso keeps two old wooden Christs, the Good Friday matraca and the Corpus Christi bell.
