St. Martin’s Church is one of the most ancient religious buildings in Ascoli Piceno. It was founded by the Benedictine monks of the Farfa Abbey, probably between the 8^th and the 9^th century A.D. and was probably built where once stood the temple of the Etruscan Great Goddess Cupra. It contains many classical and medieval artefacts, such as the fragment of the foot of a giant statue walled up the entrance and two stones of the Middle Age, carved in bas relief and used as holy water fonts.
