Where to stay in Murta
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
A village, not a hotel district. Murta sits on the Genoa roll with a long list of names attached, the Castello di Bolzaneto and the Museo della Montagna among them, none of which is a place to sleep. The rooms are in the city.
Anyone coming for the Casa della Resistenza Valpolcevera nella Casa della Cultura Edoardo Sanguineti can book in Genoa and take the rest of this list as a day's route.

About Murta
What are the main landmarks in Murta?
Seven names, and only three of them secular. The churches come first: Santissimo Nome di Gesù, Nostra Signora dell'Aiuto di Trasta, Nostra Signora della Neve and Sant'Anna di Teglia church. Then the Castello di Bolzaneto, the Museo della Montagna and the Casa della Resistenza Valpolcevera nella Casa della Cultura Edoardo Sanguineti, a title that carries a valley name and a personal name at once.
That title closes Murta's list.
What is the history of Murta?
No founding year is recorded for the village. What Murta has instead is a set of names that date themselves: the Castello di Bolzaneto, four church dedications, and the Casa della Resistenza Valpolcevera nella Casa della Cultura Edoardo Sanguineti, which sets Valpolcevera beside the parishes on one register. Genoa took the village in.
Trasta and Teglia survive inside two of those dedications, and Bolzaneto inside the castle name, which is how an older settlement pattern reaches a modern list at all.
Where is Murta?
Murta is a village inside Genoa whose listed names carry Trasta, Teglia and Bolzaneto alongside the Museo della Montagna.
