Manarola

The building type is not dissimilar from the board of Riomaggiore housing and like all urban centers of this part of the coast.
Manarola was Pope Innocent IV home and the noble family of Fieschi: top, placed in a dominant place in the town, there is the most
interesting monument of Manarola: the Gothic Church of San Lorenzo. Built in 1338, with the hard stone of the place,
the facade has a magnificent rose window designed by Matteo and Pietro di Campilio; apse is preserved a beautiful altarpiece
with bottom in the fifteenth century gold. Manarola is connected to Riomaggiore by a singular road carved at the top of the
living rock overlooking the sea; popular usage has given the poetic name of Via dell'Amore undoubtedly one of the most
striking and interesting routes of the coast, both for its unusual path, either to the possibility that you have to enjoy
the untouched nature of the entire viewing wild rugged Cinque Terre coastline.
