S. Martino      

ST. MARTIN'S is at the end of a magnificently shaded tree-lined avenue with spectacular views sweeping the valley below. Completely surrounded by long- established evergreen oaks, it is part of the picturesque convent complex, San Martino; the church itself houses paintings from the Umbrian School ( Tiberio di Assisi and Mezastris )

The Chapel of St. Gerolamo on the left of the approach has one of Spagna's masterpieces: a fresco of the Assumption with various saints (1512). In the convent refectory there is a well preserved Last Supper (1601) and in the cloisters numerous tondi (1612) by Ascensidonio Spacca (Translated by Sheila Rylands 1998)
