San Martino, Neoclassical church in Sottomarina, Italy

San Martino is a neoclassical church in Sottomarina that features symmetrical proportions and a western-facing facade. The building displays clear, orderly design typical of this architectural style and remains visible from neighboring Chioggia.

The first church on the site was built in the 12th century and destroyed by the Genoese in 1379 during the War of Chioggia. After the Venetian Senate banned building outside Chioggia's walls, the area stayed uninhabited until 1712, when ruins of the old church were found during gardening work. A new church opened for worship on 3 August 1715 and was consecrated on 28 July 1801 by Bishop Stefano Domenico Sceriman. The present larger church was begun in 1859, resumed in 1898, finished in 1900 and consecrated on 10 November 1950.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local community's religious celebrations and shapes the appearance of Sottomarina. It reflects the Catholic traditions that have been practiced in this coastal area for generations.

The church is centrally located in Sottomarina, making it easy for visitors to reach on foot. Services and religious ceremonies are held throughout the year, and visitors can explore the interior during open hours.

The bell tower, built around 1730, received its clock face in 1865; the clock came from the smaller turret of Chioggia's town hall, and its old mechanism is now kept on the ground floor of the Torre di Sant'Andrea's vertical museum. Until 1913 the tower had a dome, demolished after a lightning strike and replaced by a sloping roof.
