This hidden gem is located in the Dorsoduro district, and the main attraction of Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Pantalon is its breathtaking ceiling. The masterpiece, created by Giovanni Antonio Fumiani, portrays the "Martyrdom of Saint Pantalon", and its sheer size and detail make it a must-see for art lovers visiting Venice. The remarkable skill involved in this massive artwork is astounding, and it’s truly one of Venice’s most impressive and lesser-known treasures.
