The church of San Pantaleo, attributable to the first quarter of the XIV century, stands in a dominating position to the extreme south-east of the characteristic town of Martis.  The building underwent considerable restoration work aimed at preserving the entire structure, subject to problems of a static nature due to the collapse of the hillside below.

The church preserves the original three-nave layout. The three-sided facade is unusual because the side naves are slightly elevated above the central one; opening up at the top of the gable with three-foil ogival arches, are the oculus and the portal. The latter is of Gothic design, but the flattened shapes and insignificant profile are a clear indicator of the superficial work done by local workforces.

The internal furnishings which originally adorned the church, include the painting produced in 1595 by the famous mannerist painter Andrea Lusso; the canvas depicting San Pantaleo in the process of healing a paralytic person, originally hanging in the central chapel, is now housed in the Diocesan Museum.
