Chiesa di San Martino

At the foot of Monte Baldo, in the territory of Caprino Veronese there is a district rich in history and traditions.
We are in the district of San Martino.

Since the early Middle Ages, an organization of the countryside, that is, of the extra-urban territory, had been set up in districts.
Each of these districts was headed to a larger church, called parish. Scattered in the territory of the parish, were located in correspondence of the major inhabited nuclei, other branch churches, the chapels.

This district is one of these districts, and takes its name from its chapel, which belonged to the parish church of Caprino precisely San Martino.
The district, as we know it today, is the result of a century of spending time in a rural world rich in history and popular tradition.

The oratory dedicated to San Martino would have been built in an unspecified period of time between the end of the eighth century and the beginning of the twelfth and would have undergone several interventions, leading to at least six distinct moments. T
he sixth and last dates back to the first decade of 2000.
