MANAROLA (ITALY)

Manarola is one of the famous scenic villages of the scenic 'Cinque Terre' ('Five Lands') coast in eastern Liguria, Italy: the fourth if travelling from the north-west, the second if arriving from the south-east.
This lovely village is huddled on and down the sides of a rocky outcrop, with the tall colourful houses leading down to a small harbour and piazza below. Some of the houses on the water side of the village look as if they might slip into the sea at any moment. 
Manarola has become a wallpaper and inevitably has been the one from which Disney artists have taken most inspiration for the Cinque Terre themed Pixar movie "Luca".
The main historic monument of Manarola is the 14th century Church of Saint Lorenzo, with an ancient watchtower and the Oratorio dei Disciplinati close by on this principal square in Manarola...but as you would expect it is the ensemble of ancient houses, the harbour cafes and the scenery that are the main attractions rather than any particular historic monument.
You can enjoy lunch at one of the fish restaurants in the small square next to the harbour.
