Originally, the convent was inhabited by Benedictine monks; in 1258, it passed to the Friars Minor Conventual, who remained there until the suppression of religious orders by Napoleon Bonaparte, when the monastery was demolished.<\/p>\n<p>The church, of Gothic origin, is believed to have been built around 1200. The east-facing fa\u00e7ade is simple and almost devoid of decoration: in the centre is a travertine portal surmounted by a recessed rose window made of the same material. On the right side of the fa\u00e7ade, a section of masonry is still visible with the opening of a door that once connected the church to the convent. The bell gable is supported by a wall that rises about ten metres below the level of the church, then emerges above the structure for a few metres.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, remains of frescoes are still visible on the walls. The presbytery is covered by a ribbed vault supported by four tuff ribs and ends with a large pointed window that illuminates the sacred space. The modestly sized churchyard has a small modern-style altar in the centre. The building was restored after the Second World War, preserving its sober and ancient character.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the Church of San Martino in Proceno, an ancient Gothic building linked to the Franciscan monastery, with a travertine rose window, remains of frescoes and a chancel with a ribbed vault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":106633,"template":"","village-conntection":[50966],"what-to-see-region-and-provinces":[76148,76153],"what-to-see-category":[30159],"class_list":["post-310981","what-to-see","type-what-to-see","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","village-conntection-proceno-it","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-lazio-en","what-to-see-region-and-provinces-viterbo-en","what-to-see-category-place-of-cult"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/310981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/what-to-see"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see\/310981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"village-conntection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/village-conntection?post=310981"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-region-and-provinces","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-region-and-provinces?post=310981"},{"taxonomy":"what-to-see-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.e-borghi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/what-to-see-category?post=310981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
