San Martino

San Martino is a Gothic church in Randazzo built with white limestone and black lava stone from the local region. The bell tower rises with four levels and features paired window openings that create a distinctive architectural appearance.

The church was founded in the 13th century and later expanded by adding three separate chapels. This growth reflects how the community developed its religious space over generations.

The baptismal area with its marble font shows how the community has practiced its faith across generations. The church continues to serve as a gathering place and spiritual center for locals today.

The building sits on Piazza Municipio in the town center and is easy to reach on foot. The color contrast between light and dark stone makes it visible from a distance and helps with navigation.

A notable detail is the marble baptismal font created by Angelo Riccio in the 15th century. This handcrafted piece is a rare example of decorative craftsmanship from that era.
