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
Manarolaup
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.
