Cinque Terre National Park
Five cliff-side terraced towns linked by coastal trails in Liguria, northern Italy
Five medieval towns sit on steep, terraced slopes where the Appennino Ligure comes straight to the sea. It is the first Italian park created to safeguard a landscape mostly built by humans, "the park of Man".
