Facts and practical information

The church of San Martín is a Spanish Romanesque church located in the Plaza del Corrillo and next to the southern bay of the Plaza Mayor in Salamanca. The church was built over a hermitage dedicated to San Pedro in the 12th century, specifically in 1103 on the initiative of Count Martín Fernández in the district of the Toresanos during the repopulation of the city. At that time, in 1173, the church was called "San Martín del Mercado" or "San Martín de la Plaza". The church is nowadays embedded between modern buildings and has undergone numerous restorations throughout its history. It was declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1931.
