Monterosso al Mare — Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful little village. Monterosso al Mare is an Italian municipality (comune) with 1371 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2022) in the province of La Spezia, Liguria region. It is one of the five villages of the Cinque Terre. 12 m above sea level. The fishing village on the Ligurian coast is the largest town in the Cinque Terre and part of the national park of the same name on the Ligurian coast (Riviera di Levante) between La Spezia and Sestri Levante. Monterosso is the northernmost of the five villages, all of which lie on a coastal strip around twelve kilometers long. Monterosso stretches for around 1.5 kilometers and is divided into two parts: the small old town is separated from the newer district of Fegina by a rock jutting out into the sea, on which the striking watchtower Torre Aurora from the 16th century rises. A pedestrian tunnel around 100 meters long leads through the rock.

Monterosso Beach

Highlight • Beach

It is absolutely worth abandoning the main road that remains at high altitude to go down to Monterosso, the most populous of the Cinque Terre. Also mentioned by Petrarca, Monterosso is one of the most beautiful and famous places in all of Liguria.

September 8, 2025,Cinque Terre: Monterosso

Monterosso is the only town in the Cinque Terre with long, flat stretches of beach – most are managed, some are public and free of charge. At the far west end, "Il Gigante" watches over the bathers...
