Le Cinque Terre - Monterosso |
|
| |
Long accessible from Levanto through the carriage
road, it is undoubtedly the most visited tourist
resort among the
Cinque Terre. From the Capuchin Monastery and,
further above, from the ancient Fieschi's Castle -
today a cemetery - the glance can reach a large
portion of coast, enjoying a marvellous panoramic
view:
on one side the steep Punta Masco, featuring the S.
Antonio abbey's ruins, on the other the steep coast
covered with vines where you can see
Vernazza,
Corniglia and
Manarola up to Monte Nero cape. With a nice walk,
from Monterosso you can get to Madonna di Soviore,
the most ancient sanctuary in Liguria. It is traced
back to the 11th century when, according to the
tradition, the people survived to the Rotari
Longobard invasions found shelter in this place and
subsequently founded Monterosso: natural origin (ask
about the Maddalena Hill and the Lapau Flank). The
rich underwood of Mediterranean type is mixed with
elements of centre Europe and Atlantic origin. |
