Frescoes on the entrance wall and the under-surface of the entrance arch

On the underside of the entrance arch of the Cappella di San Martino eight full-length saints are painted in four pairs. Next to the eight saints on the underside of the arch, on the entrance wall inside the chapel we find the scene of the Consecration of the Chapel.
