On 11 November Zoagli celebrates Saint Martin; the 18th-century parish church holds a small wooden panel of the Madonna and Child, once venerated in Genoa.

The patron of Zoagli is Saint Martin, celebrated on 11 November in the parish church dedicated to him, in the town centre. Built in the 18th century, it was partly rebuilt at the end of the Second World War, after the town's bombing had also destroyed the town hall, the civic hospital and numerous houses, causing many deaths. Inside it holds a small walnut-wood panel depicting the Madonna and Child Jesus, previously venerated and displayed in Genoa, which reached the parish church after several changes of location.

From San Martino also starts the path of the five bell towers, a route of about twelve kilometres, following the old Roman road, linking the churches of the hamlets of San Pietro di Rovereto, Semorile, San Pantaleo and Sant'Ambrogio.
