Five Lands
Cinque Terre is UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the province of La Spezia, on the verge of the Riviera di Levante, the eastern part of the Ligurian Riviera, the Cinque Terre, literally “Five Lands”, comprise the five municipalities of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare. The Cinque Terre are the meeting point of the seaside and the hillside, whose arduous landscape has been strenuously dominated by the man over the centuries. The peculiar conformation of the soil makes the products farmed here also unique. The dry-stones terraces date as far back as the 11th century. In 1997 the Cinque Terre were inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. They were deemed a marine reserve in 1997 and a national park in 1999.

Portovenere is near La Spezia, is another World Heritage site to visit, absolutely spectacular with its church on top of the sea and its Castle. Was one of the favourite places of the poet Byron.
