The Marmiroi Church was first mentioned in 1307, but it is believed to have been built much earlier, possibly in the 12th century. It is likely that this church once belonged to a monastery and that it served as a model for the construction of the church of the monastery of Saint Mary of Zvërnec. From 1971, the church, which was in a dilapidated state, was restored.

Morroccan mosque

The mosque is located centrally in the old village centre. As Bağişkan reports, there has been a mosque in this village since 1805.

The cathedral of Marsala rests on the foundations of an old basilica from the 2nd century. The basilica, deteriorated by Arab raids, was replaced by a Norman cathedral in the second half of the 12th century.

During the Bourbon period, in the first half of the 18th century, the intervention of the architect Giovanni Biagio Amico for the repair of the roofs is documented.

The Martebo Church is a medieval church, known for its rich medieval sculptures. Little is knows about the origins of the church. The current stone building will probably have been pre-dated by a wooden church. The Romanesque tower dates from the middle of the 13th century and is the oldest part of the current building. The Gothic nave and choir both date from the beginning of the 14th century. They are replacements of an earlier and smaller Romanesque building.
