Description
Properties inscribed on the World Heritage List - Italy - Portovenere, Cinque Terre, and the Islands Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto 1997
Volastra village is located up in the hills (330 metres on the sea level), straightly less than 1 km from Manarola to which it gave birth. It dominates the five maritime "cribs" that give their name to the Cinqueterre territory (Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso). It has notably contributed, thanks to its people’s work, in building up a unique landscape in the world, at the heart of the fabolous Cinqueterre scenary. It is a village with strong roots in peasantry, in vineyards, in wine production, but it is also a village that is quickly changing into a tourist place. Through the creation of reception/hospitality structures, of travelling services, it gives the tourists the opportunity of enjoying many various walks, either up in the hills or down along the seaside and eventually diving into the sea. Characters of the buildings in the village: the original circular structure makes to think of a possible Etrurian origin; the most ancient side cannot be seen from the sea.
