Vernazza

Few towns in Liguria have a history as closely tied to the sea as Vernazza. One of the five settlements of the Cinque Terre, it gathers around a small natural harbour on the Ligurian Sea, beneath steep slopes shaped into dry-stone vineyard terraces. The medieval Doria Castle and its tower rise above the waterfront, while the Church of Santa Margherita d’Antiochia stands beside the harbour. Vernazza lies within Cinque Terre National Park, on a coast recognised by UNESCO together with Porto Venere and nearby islands. Its lanes, boats and vineyards reflect life adapted to a narrow stretch of coast. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Vernazza and the Cinque Terre.
