Monterosso al Mare, Italy
The main features of the pretty chief village situated behind the
railroad line are the Loggia del Podestà (14th century) and the tower of
the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, built as a Genoese
watch-tower. High above Monterosso, on the road to Vernazza, lies the
pilgrimage church of the Madonna di Soviore which is worth a visit
(magnificent view).

Vernazza, Italy
Vernazza, undoubtedly the prettiest of the five villages, snuggles
behind a rocky cliff in a cleft in the valley. A piazza with colorful
houses opens onto the small harbor. In 1182 Vernazza fought on the
Genoese side against Pisa. A few sections of the old Genoese
fortifications, walls and a round tower have been preserved.

Corniglia, Italy
Corniglia, the only one of the Cinqueterre lying above sea-level
(193m/633ft), is laid out similarly to the villages in the Ligurian
hinterland. The little road from Vernazza to Corniglia crosses a narrow
mountain ridge on which is perched the hamlet of San Bernardino. San
Bernardino, with the pilgrimage church of the same name (good view of
the whole region), can be reached from Corniglia in an hour.

Manarola
On the upper edge of Manarola, which since 1806 has formed part of
Riomaggiore, stands the Gothic church of the Natività di Maria Vergine,
the front of which boasts a magnificent rose of Carrara marble. Opposite
the church are the free-standing bell-tower and a 16th century
watch-tower.

Riomaggiore, Italy
Riomaggiore, the easternmost place in La Spezia and the easiest to
reach, has expanded considerably as the result of tourism. It became
known largely because of the painter Telemaco Signorini who often stayed
here from 1860 onwards and painted the village several times. Inside
the parish church of San Giovanni (14th century) are a pulpit with
marble reliefs and a wooden crucifix; above the Renaissance doorway can
be seen a 15th century triptych. On a hill in the northwest of the
village are remains of the 15th/16th century castle.
