Church of St Martin is the parish church of Moniga, founded as a chapel belonging to the Pieve of Santa Maria in Manerba, but in 1454 it was consecrated to St. Martin (protector of the military, the tailors, the hosts and horsemen) and became independent.

The church has a single nave, decorated with stucco and marble, five altars, choir a very simple wood, a wooden pulpit in a simple style that is accessed by a staircase and a beautiful baptismal font of stone, which is no longer used .
