What to expect

1

Santuario di Nostra Signora di Montenero

Site of devotion for the citizens of Riomaggiore, the sanctuary was founded after the finding of a byzantine icon which soon became a pilgrimage destination. The current look of the sanctuary is due to the deep transformations occurred in the 18th and 19th century.

2

Volastra

This village, whose circular plan may refer to an Etruscan foundation, stands at 330 metres upon sea level in the outback of Manarola. The Romanesque sanctuary of Nostra Signora della Salute is indeed meant to protect the coastal village.

3

Santuario di Soviore

This sanctuary is the most ancient of the whole region Liguria, dating back at least to 1244; the cult is focused on a wooden statue of Holy Mary, brought to the outback by local people during the Lombard invasions and found one hundred years later. It is a devotion site for the citizens of Monterosso. Today, the site also features a small congress centre, a cafeteria, a museum and a guest house.

4

Monterosso al Mare

The most western and populous of Cinque Terre; its foundation could be dated in the 9th century. In the 13th, Monterosso was contended between the rival forces of Genova and Pisa, being finally occupied by the first. In 1545 it was severely damaged, like most coastal villages in Italy, by a Turkish attack. The remaining of the castle keep the traces of these conflicts, featuring three round towers, the square "Torre Aurora" on the cliff and the medieval tower in the village centre.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
