History
editThe 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.[1]
Description
editThe church features a three-nave plan. The façade incorporates a rose window.[1]
Inside, there are several paintings and sculptures, including a wooden sculpture depicting the Deposition of Christ by the Genoese sculptor Anton Maria Maragliano.[1]
