==History==
Documents allude to the founding of the church in the 11th-12th centuries. The church is dedicated to St Martin, Bishop of Tours. However, the first documentation we have for this church dates to 1333; in the next century it was subsumed to the local church of [[San Lorenzo, Spello|San Lorenzo]], but in 1561, it fell under the direct jurisdiction of the Papal government.
In the 19th-century, priests dedicated to the cult of the ''Vergine Addolorata'' were installed. In 1870, this institution was suppressed and the church was transferred to a confraternity known as the ''Congregazione di Carità di Spello''.
The church has a simple layout with [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] elements. The simple facade in white stone has a sail like bell-casing in the tympanum. Below is a mullioned window, and an arched portal. All the original paintings have been dispersed. Presently it has a altarpiece of the ''Madonna of the Poor'' (1988) by Orlando Tisato. On the left wall are remains of 15th century frescoes depicting ''St Martin granting his cloak to the poor'' and a ''St Sebastian''. There is a wooden sculpture of ''Ecce Homo'' from the 17th-century.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2SGEbW8 Entry on church in website of Comune of Spello].</ref>
