Chiesa di San Martino

The San Martino Church features stone walls, semi-circular arches, and a bell tower that exemplifies medieval Romanesque architectural elements.

Dating back to the early 1000s, the church stands as the oldest religious structure in the upper Vicenza region, with first written records from 1185.

The interior houses wooden trusses, a Madonna of the Rosary statue from 1940, and frescoes depicting Jesus Christ and Saint Martin from the late 14th century.

The church remains under private ownership since 1810, following its acquisition by the Clementi family during the Napoleonic period.

Archaeological evidence suggests the church was built upon foundations of a 4th-century pagan temple dedicated to the Nymphs.
