Known for its rows of pastel houses that stretch down to the Mediterranean Sea, Manarola, seen in today"s image, is a picturesque village on the Italian Riviera. Perched on the rugged cliffs of the Ligurian coast, it"s one of the five villages that make up Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name "Manarola" might have evolved from the Latin "Magna rota," which means "large wheel," a nod to the village"s historical mill wheel.
