Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, Monterosso
Monterosso’s parish church has a striped Gothic facade and a bell tower with a defensive past. It is one of the clearest historic landmarks in the old village.
Why go
Look at the dark and light bands across the Gothic facade before moving into Monterosso’s old lanes. The church’s former defensive bell tower recalls a time when religious buildings also belonged to the coast’s watchful landscape. This stop makes the old village’s history visible in the same compact space as its everyday streets.
