The Renaissance-style archpresbyteral church of San Martín

San Martín, Obispo de Tours is a Renaissance-style, Roman Catholic archpresbyteral church located in the town of Callosa de Segura, in the Alicante region of Spain. Built in the 16th century, it has been declared a historic monument and serves as an example of a Renaissance hall-church, featuring a nave and two aisles of equal height with vaults resting on tall classical columns.

The main facade belongs to the late Gothic style, adorned with archivolts inscribed with a Latin phrase. In the 17th century, a belfry was added containing five bells named la Martina, la Purísima, San José, Sagrado Corazón, and Santísimo Sacramento. During the 18th century, Rococo interior decoration and an enormous internal central cupola were added, along with the Sacristy and Chapel of the Communion in the Neoclassical style.

Inside the church are important jewelled works by Miguel de Vera from the 16th century, such as an image-reliquary of Saint Martin, the Archiprestal cross and the Processional Crook. The interior also houses passiflora sculptures and contemporary altarpieces by Rabasa, Noguera, and others.
