Architecture of the Church of Saints Pantaleon and Valentine

The Parish Church of Saints Pantaleon and Valentine is a historical and architectural marvel that continues to inspire and fascinate visitors to Courmayeur.
Inside, a fine 18th-century canvas depicting the martyrdom of St. Sebastian and an exceptional ex-voto painting from 1704, celebrating the salvation of the village of Courmayeur from French invasion, stand out.
In the chapel to the left of the chancel, an inscription commemorates the stay in Courmayeur in 1930 of Prince Umberto of Savoy and Princess Maria José, on their honeymoon. The bell tower, of uncertain age but dating from the 11th or 12th century, is a unique example in the Aosta Valley.
The spire, reworked later, resembles a tiara, perhaps in homage to the popes of Avignon.
With seven bells from different periods, the bell tower is a distinctive feature of the church.
