Urban Jewel – Manarola in Cinque Terre, Italy

Share/Bookmark

Manarola is tiny village on the Cinque Terre coast of Italy. It is built on a high rock 70 metres above sea level, and is one of the most charming and romantic of the Cinque Terre villages. Typical tower houses of the Genoese style are the main sight of this town. On the west end, you’ll find a wild little harbor and the east side has a small church square where the townsmen meet for various activities.
