Since I still have 8 days remaining for my flight back to Cebu, I decided to visit the Church located just a kilometer apart from my apartment, the Saint Martin Church.
St. Martin’s Church was originally a Romanesque church built in the 8th Century and consecrated in 769 AD. It was named after St. Martin, Bishop of Tours. The church was largely destroyed during the great fire of 1464 but it was rebuilt in the late Gothic style and reused parts of its Carolingian predecessor. Construction was completed in 1491 and it is the largest late-Gothic building in Graubünden.
This church in the Old Town, was a center and base for the Reformation in Church from 1523. Since 1969, the three glass windows by artist Augusto Giacometti have been a special feature of this church. They depict the Christmas story.
Even if I will attend to the mass in the church, it is still be useless since I can’t understand the language they will be using. They only used latin and german language for the mass. But atleast I am able to visit the Church by myself. :-)
