Church of San Martino, Tiezzo

The church of San Martino Vescovo, dating back to the 17th century, was enlarged in 1898 after being consecrated in 1873. The building has a single-hall plan with two side chapels. The presbytery, raised three steps above the hall, ends with a polygonal apse; the sacristy is annexed to it. In the hall, a first architectural order composed of Doric pilasters and an entablature, acts as a spring plane for the barrel vault, with lunettes corresponding to the openings. In the presbytery, however, the roof is a cross vault. The façade is divided into three parts by four Doric semi-columns on which rest an entablature and a pediment with an eye in the centre of the tympanum. The portal is placed in the axis of symmetry of the façade, framed by a brick motif and a projecting cymatium. In an isolated position, to the left of the building, stands the bell tower with a square plan and a cell with mullioned windows with round arches. The structure ends with an octagonal drum on which rest a small onion and an apical element composed of a metal cross.
