Church of St. Martin was first mentioned in the list of parishes in the area in 1334. Currently, the list is stored in the archives of the Archbishopric of Zagreb. Just a list of four of the parish, one of them - the parish of St. Martin.

The church was built in an area formerly occupied ancient Roman settlement. That is the conclusion reached by scientists who have studied the neighborhood of the church in 1977 and 1978. Here, systematic excavations were carried out, which showed that the ancient settlement was located on an area of 2, 5 to 3 sq.km.

We found a lot of archaeological material, supports this assumption. Namely: the remains of an ancient building (Roman house), ancient walls, stone pillar, a lot of building materials that testify to the intense activity, unfolding here. Also there were found Roman coins, oil lamps, ceramic pots, fragments of an altar dedicated to the Roman god Jupiter, and more.

At the time of the communist regime in the country of the word "saint" was forbidden, so the old name and, therefore, sanctification, in honor of the saint of the Catholic Church was returned only in 1990.
