San Martino Chapel, Medieval chapel in Lower Basilica of San Francesco, Assisi, Italy
The San Martino Chapel features a rectangular layout with a barrel-vaulted ceiling and three large stained-glass windows in its hexagonal apse.
Cardinal Gentile Portino da Montefiore funded the chapel construction in 1312 with 600 golden florins after returning from Hungary with church donations.
The chapel walls display ten narrative frescoes by Simone Martini depicting key events from the life of Saint Martin of Tours, bishop and former knight.
The chapel stands in the south transept of the Lower Basilica, presenting visitors with detailed Gothic frescoes that maintain their original color intensity.
The entrance arch contains portraits of religious figures, including Saint Mary Magdalene, Saint Anthony of Padua, and Saint Louis of France.
