Monterosso al Mare, Coastal village in Cinque Terre, Italy.
The westernmost village of Cinque Terre stretches between an old town and new district, connected by a tunnel passage for vehicles and pedestrians.
The settlement developed from a Roman base called Mons Rubeus, evolving through medieval times with fortifications to protect against Mediterranean pirates.
The Church of San Giovanni Battista, built between 1282 and 1307, displays Gothic architecture and contains important religious artworks and decorated bell towers.
Monterosso features the largest sandy beach in Cinque Terre, with sections divided between public access areas and private establishments with rental services.
The Neptune statue, a concrete and iron giant structure built in the early 1900s, stands partially damaged at the edge of Villa Pastine.
