Ligurien, ItalyThe Cinque Terre National Park, with 3,868 hectares, is the National Park among the smallest in Italy and at the same time the most densely populated, with about 4,000 inhabitants divided into five villages: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Great.
Here, the man of more than a thousand years "altered" the natural environment by cutting the steep slopes of the hills to get cultivated terrain, the so-called bin, supported by miles of dry stone walls. This is the true identity of Cinque Terre, with an atypical and strongly anthropic landscape: that is why it is a territory that has become a World Heritage Site.
