The Church of San Martin, a Catholic church dedicated to San Martin, sits on a hilltop in Mota del Marqués, Valladolid, Castilla y León, Spain. Originally built around 1540 by Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, the church was completed in 1558. The church features three naves of equal height, separated by cylindrical pillars with Tuscan pillars. The naves are divided into three sections, with the central one being wider and ending with a pentagonal apse, while the lateral ones end in a flatter conclusion. The vaults are of cruciform type with diagonals, tercelets, and combados, the lateral ones being simpler and the one in the apse being star-shaped with five points. A prominent portal on the southern facade, a tower, and the large volume of the building, built in granite and covered with Arabic tile roof with two slopes, complete the picture.
