Liguria, Riomaggiore
Riomaggiore, like all the ancient villages of the
Cinque Terra, is narrow between the Ligurian Sea and the steep mountain range to its shoulders. The town, whose original nucleus dates back to the 13th century and is composed of several parallel orders of medieval tower houses that follow the steep course of the stream and which characterize the. charm of the place. Nestled between two steep terraced hills that descend to the sea in steep flounces, the ancient village of Riomaggiore, strikes attention for its houses built vertically and delightfully colorful, & nbsp; that through the games of shadows and lights offer a panorama of incomparable suggestion. All the houses have two entrances: one on the facade at the level of the alley, the other on the back at the height of the upper road, a structure that, in 1500, guaranteed an escape route in the event of attack by the Saracens.
Riomaggiore is now part of the
Mountain Community of the Riviera Spezzina and the Cinque Terre National Park and is famous beyond for the reception of its tourist facilities for Ligurian gastronomy and its renowned white wines. Among the wines, Sciacchetrà is the most famous, characteristic also of the other lands up to Vernazza and Monterosso, made with grapes with a characteristic golden color that expresses a intense and persistent scent.
