The Pieve di Mozzano stands on the opposite side of the main church of Sasso and is mentioned for the first time in a document dated 1137. The ancient chapel, now in ruins, was entirely rebuilt in 1669. The apse, presumably, is the narthex of the original ancient chapel.
The exterior of the church is characterized by the presence of the volumes of the two side chapels and the sacristy which, in plan, protrude from the main body of the building and whose roof tiles are lower than that of the main nave.
The facade is plastered, with a central portal surmounted by a rose window and crowning characterized by a monumental entablature, consisting of a frieze of classical style, which sees the alternation of eight triglyphs and eight plastered portions, and a cornice above, protruding from the facade.
The interior has a single nave with cross vaults, with two side chapels, one on each side, flat and raised apse with respect to the hall. The chapels, also raised like the presbytery, have a semi-dome with ribs and a central stucco rose window. The presbytery is separated from the hall by a lowered round arch that rests on pillars with capitals richly decorated with stucco cornices and putti in the round.
During restoration work in 1970, the Romanesque altar of 1200 was found under which relics, a small piece of cloth and a bone contained in a glass vial attributed to St. Martin, to whom the church is dedicated.
