The Church of S. Martino near Mendrisio

S. Martino, or more properly SS. Martino e Rocco, may have been founded as early as 963; the building you see, however, is of mixed periods, with the rustic N wall representing the earliest phase, very likely the 12c. I found the church very closed, so for views of the interior and a much more detailed summary — as well as for a view of the E end of the church, a 17c shedlike appendage that I found unattractive and therefore took no photo of, you should see the sites in the navigation bar at the foot of this page.
