Collegiata di San Martino, Renaissance collegiate church in Sinalunga, Italy.
The Collegiata di San Martino is a church with a single nave, Latin cross layout, eight side chapels, and a barrel vault. This vault spans the transept and main space.
This church was built in 1588 and used stones from the destroyed castle of Sinalunga. That fortress had been torn down after Florence's victory over Siena in 1559.
The interior displays twelve stucco statues of the Apostles created in 1746 by Bartolomeo Mazzuoli. These figures share the space with many Renaissance paintings that decorate the walls.
The church is located on Via San Martino 8 and functions as an active place of worship. It belongs to the Diocese of Montepulciano-Chiusi-Pienza, so it is accessible during standard visiting hours.
The church preserves a wooden crucifix from the 16th century by an unknown sculptor. Along with an Annunciation by Agostino Veracini, it shows the artistic range of the collection.
