The patroness of Garlenda is the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, celebrated on 8 September. The parish church dedicated to her was built in the 17th century with a distinctive octagonal dome and Baroque bell tower: inside, besides fine inlaid marble, it holds a 17th-century painting attributed to Guercino, sent from Rome to the Costa feudal lords precisely for the town's parish church. Next to the church stands the oratory of the Disciplinanti.
