Vernazza, Five Lands, Ligurian Coast Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Cinque Terre' means Five Lands and the Cinque Terre of the Italian Riviera are five unique villages hugging the cliffs along a short stretch of the Ligurian coastline. Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso make up the five villages of the Cinque Terre and if you're feeling active, you can walk from one to another, soaking up the natural landscape and authentic charm of each of the villages. The coastline of the Cinque Terre is a national park, a protected marine area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. VERNAZZA is a charming fishing port with colourful houses sloping around the harbour and up towards a fortified tower.
