Monterosso al Mare
The village is located on hills cultivated with vines and olives. The vegetation surrounds the built-up area like an embrace; its amazing beaches, its beautiful reefs and the sea’s crystal clear waters make this small village one of the most hospitable of the Eastern Ligure Riviera. The village is divided in two parts marked by the medieval tower of Aurora. The old part of town is the most typical area and this is where you will find the San Francesco Church, church where major art works are kept such as the Crucifixion by Van Dick. The Soviore Sanctuary which dates back to the XVII Century is also in the old part of town. The houses structure, at least in the old town, is always a tower-like structure, towers being divided amongst themselves by a maze of small streets. The new part of town is completely different, full of life: it is the reflection of an area that tourism has made rich, as the great quantity and excellent quality of hotels and restaurants give evidence.
