Church built on the remains of a Roman basilica in ancient Caput Jani, from which Capitignano takes its name.

The Church of San Martino Vescovo stands on the remains of a Roman basilica, on the site of ancient "Caput Jani", from which the name of the main town derives. Its present appearance dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, with later restorations.It has a T-shaped plan, a single nave and a transept lit by large windows. We like the portal with four columns and, inside, the fluted columns with Corinthian capitals.
