San Martino in Greppo is a small Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic church, located in the Diecimo district outside of the town of Borgo a Mozzano in the province of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy.

History

The church was located along the ancient road that linked the Lunigiana valley near Lucca with the Po valley; this church was documented by 979, under the pieve of Diecimo. It operated an adjacent hostel for pilgrims. The present church, visible from the banks of the Serchio, was built in the 12th century.
