Tovegni Palace
On Via Conte Adami that leads to the Parish is Palazzo Tovegni, an eclectic-style building built in the early 1900s.
Inside the garden there are remains of the ancient walls of the castle and the base of one of its two towers. It is now owned by the Municipality of Murazzano.

One of the four gates that gave access to the town (of the Arezza gates in Via Roma and Frigida sul Bric no trace remains except in chapter 123 of the Statute).
Adjacent to the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Hal, the pointed arch and the small tower above are still visible.
Chapel of San Giorgio
On the top of a panoramic and suggestive hill in the Mellea region, along the road that leads to the village of Belvedere, stands the Chapel of San Giorgio.

Chapel of San Bernardo
Just outside the center of Murazzano, precisely at the crossroads that lead to Savona on one side and Bossolasco on the other, you can admire the Chapel of San Bernardo.
Mentioned for the first time in 1667, in 1838, unfortunately, it was forbidden to worship due to deterioration. A few years later, however, in 1870 it was rebuilt, preserving the pre-existing and sought-after octagonal shape.
Confraternity of San Giovanni Decollato
The Church of San Giovanni Decollato was built inside in the mid-seventeenth century, under the imposing walls of the Ricetto, now nicknamed Piazza Umberto I. The construction of this place of worship finds its main reason in the desire to host the Confraternity of Mercy,established in Murazzano in the period in which plague epidemics were frequent.
The Confraternity (called “Battuti Neri” due to the black hood) was first located in San Rocco and later, in 1635, in the underground chapel (the Crypt) of the famous Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Hal.

Church of San Rocco
The Church of San Rocco was most likely built at the entrance to the town towards Belvedere, on the occasion of the frequent epidemics that struck the fourteenth or fifteenth century.
This monument has three particularly interesting features.
The first corresponds to the two faces of Medusa in sandstone fixed on the facade. A representation that does not respond to architectural needs, but which testifies to the desire to preserve local relics from the Roman era. The second coincides with the restored interior frescoes dating back to the 15th / 16th century.
The last, but certainly not least, is the Latin inscription dated June 15, 1515 located at the entrance to the building. It is a reminder of the restoration work carried out by the mayors of the Community Giovanni Brocardo and Seb astiano Ferrero.
Chapel of San Sebastiano
The Chapel of San Sebastiano was built in medieval times, also outside the town center towards the village of Belvedere.
Until 1974 it housed a 16th century fresco from the Macrino d’Alba school. A truly precious painting, saved from decay thanks to a pictorial restoration work, which involved the detachment of the entire painted surface and the recreation of the support.
The fresco was relocated to the parish.

Under the ancient and now disappeared walls of the Ricetto, in Via della Parrocchia, the Church of Sant’Anna was built in the sixteenth century.
