The Church of San Martino is placed in a dominant position on the top of Monte San Martino. The building, with one nave, houses works of fundamental value to the history of Italian art: there are in fact three polyptychs by Vittore Crivelli (c. 1440 - c. 1502), on one of which it is possible to recognize the hand of his brother Carlo (1430/35 - c. 1500): the altarpiece of Monte San Martino depicting the Madonna with Child and Saints, ignored by critics for many years, remains an extremely important document to start a reflection not only on the collaboration between the two brothers, still not found elsewhere, but also on Carlo's relationship with his collaborators. The works date back to the period around 1490. There is also a polyptych by Girolamo di Giovanni da Camerino (1449? - 1503?), Probably from 1473. In this church there is, among other things, a valuable organ by Giovanni Fedeli. The altar, from the Neapolitan school, is also worth mentioning, at the base of which are some precious majolica.
