Chiesa di San Pantaleone o Santa Maria de La Salette, Cividale del Friuli
Facts and practical information
The church of San Pantaleone is a place of worship in Cividale del Friuli, located in the hamlet of Rualis.
The church was built along the road of late antique-medieval origin that connected Forum Iulii to Cormones, now Cormons, and continued beyond the Pons Sonti, the bridge over the Soča River near present-day Gradisca, and toward the Via Aquileia - Iulia Emona.
During the 19th century the locality was the subject of archaeological research: the remains of a building interpreted as part of a small temple dedicated to Mars were identified. Leaning against the Roman structures a number of burials from the late antique period came to light. Nearby, some wall fragments and numerous finds from the Roman period were discovered, testifying to the presence of a rustic villa.
According to tradition it was in this church that St. Paulinus blessed Charlemagne's army headed against the Avars.
