San Martino
The Reformed Church of S. Martino in Bondo is a Protestant Reformed church under the protection of the Canton of Graubünden.

Description

The building, which was designed as a hall church with a wide, semicircular apse, was consecrated as a uniform Romanesque building in 1250 by Bishop Volkard von Neuburg.  The simple building, with its important 15th-century proto-Renaissance paintings, in particular the depiction of the Last Supper, is one of the most important in the canton.

During the restoration in 1960/61, frescoes depicting St. Christopher, St. Martin, St. John the Evangelist, James the Elder, Anthony the Hermit and the coats of arms of Bishop Ortlieb von Brandis (1458-1491) were discovered and uncovered. On the south wall of the nave, cut by the supporting pillar of the vault, a Last Supper. The table is richly set with wine, bread, an Easter lamb, fish, artichokes and crabs.

Thanks to its excellent acoustics, St. Martin's Church is often used for concerts.
