Basilica of St. Martin, Minor basilica in Martina Franca, Italy

The Basilica of St. Martin stands with a 42-meter-high facade featuring statues of Saints Peter, Paul, Joseph, and John the Baptist in its niches.

Construction of the basilica started in 1747 under architect Giovanni Mariani, replacing an older Romanesque church, and reached completion in 1763.

The interior displays a collection of marble works, including a polychrome altar from 1773 and statues of the four Evangelists by Domenico Carella.

The basilica maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year and offers guided tours of its three naves, twelve altars, and artistic treasures.

The Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament contains the relics of Saint Comasia, presented to the city in 1645 with approval from Pope Innocent X.
