According to tradition, the parish church of San Martino in Alpe was founded around the year 1000 on the ruins of a pre-existing Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Diana. In the rectory, in fact, several archaeological finds discovered on site and in the surrounding area are preserved. Originally built in the Romanesque style, the church was significantly altered by repeated collapses, restorations, and modifications, eventually becoming an elegant Late Renaissance building with clear Tuscan influences. It is mentioned for the first time in a papal bull issued in 1124 by Pope Callistus II, when it was under the authority of the Abbey of San Benedetto in Alpe. The most recent major restoration followed the 1918 earthquake and took place between 1933 and 1944. In 1936 the fa\u00e7ade was redesigned with four gables, three rose windows, and two side portals, and a new square bell tower with a spire was added to replace the previous, very heavy bell gable. San Martino is the patron saint of Premilcuore.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font|700|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#c4c4c4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday and today<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][baie_before_after_image src_before=&#8221;https:\/\/visitpremilcuore.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pieve-San-Martino-anni-30.jpg&#8221; label_before=&#8221;Ieri&#8221; src_after=&#8221;https:\/\/visitpremilcuore.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pieve-San-Martino-dopo.jpg&#8221; label_after=&#8221;Oggi&#8221; alt=&#8221;Pieve San Maertino oggi&#8221; title_text=&#8221;pieve San Martino dopo&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;60%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; scroll_scaling_enable=&#8221;off&#8221; scroll_scaling=&#8221;0|50|50|100|100%|112%|100%&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;60%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;auto&#8221;][\/baie_before_after_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Virtual Tour&#8221; module_id=&#8221;vt&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font|700|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#c4c4c4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Virtual Tour<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<iframe src=\"https:\/\/visitpremilcuore.it\/vt\/pieve\/EN\/index.htm\" width=\"100%\" height=\"550px\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Virtual Tour&#8221; module_id=&#8221;vt&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font|700|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#c4c4c4&#8243; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Accessible Version<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_audio audio=&#8221;https:\/\/visitpremilcuore.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/interno_San_Martino.mp3&#8243; title=&#8221;VT SLet\u2019s explore the interior&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#163B82&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|12px|12px|12px|12px&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_audio][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Audio description<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The interior of the church is notably large\u201437 by 17 meters\u2014exhibiting the spaciousness typical of the Tuscan Renaissance.
