Monterosso al Mare Must-Sees

Monterosso al Mare, the largest village of the Cinque Terre, is split into the newer Fegina district by the station and the medieval old town. Highlights include the striped Church of San Giovanni Battista, the Capuchin church of San Francesco on San Cristoforo hill, the long Fegina beach with the 14-metre Giant statue, the Aurora Tower above the old harbour, and the ruins of the Sant'Antonio hermitage on the trail to Punta Mesco.
