Parish church of San Martino Vescovo in Serre, of 13th-century origin and restored after the fire of 1822.

In the centre of Serre, at the foot of the Alburni, the Church of San Martino Vescovo (St Martin the Bishop) is the town's parish seat, in the diocese of Teggiano-Policastro. Its origins go back to the 13th century, but its present appearance is largely the result of works following the serious fire of 24 October 1822, after which the building was fully restored.Among the works we suggest looking for is a fine Renaissance Eucharistic tabernacle, which has also been the subject of specific studies. We like stepping in here after a stroll through the village streets, then continuing to the sanctuary of the Madonna dell'Olivo to discover the two oldest religious souls of Serre.
