San Martino (Portofino)

About

The first construction of the church, dedicated to Martin of Tours, dates back to 986, when it replaced an early chapel located near the quay. Originally, the church featured a Lombard Romanesque style, similar to the neighbouring San Giorgio in Portofino. Over the course of its history, the building underwent numerous modifications that altered its appearance; its current look is the result of works carried out at the end of the 19th century.

The church features a three-nave plan. The façade incorporates a rose window.

Inside, there are several paintings and sculptures, including a wooden sculpture depicting the Deposition of Christ by the Genoese sculptor Anton Maria Maragliano.
