In the last few decades the population has grown because many families have built their homes in the village. So as not to be left behind by the other villages of the valley, Morbio Superiore can claim several figures who distinguished themselves in the fine arts, such as the excellent sculptor Antonio Pozzi, who lived in Rome and worked with the great Bernini. Interesting buildings: Parish Church of St. John the Evangelist (18th c., architect Simone Cantoni, on 13th c. foundations). Chapel of St. Anne (17th-18th c.). Chapel of St. Martin and St. Abbondio on the hill of the same name (12th c., on pre-Roman foundations). Ossuary dedicated to St. Nicholas of the Flüe (18th c.). Special points of interest: Roman wash-trough. Roman bridge over the River Breggia.
