Monterosso al Mare is the most western of the Cinque Terre. E 'located at the center of a small natural bay, protected by a small artificial reef. To the west of the country, beyond the hills of the Cappuccini, lies the village of Fegina, natural expansion of the small tourist resort town original. Fegina can be reached through a tunnel of a few tens of meters, the railway station is located here and the beaches are relatively larger, compared to the narrow cliffs that characterize the other villages of the Cinque Terre village, making this the most comfortable of the Ligurian coast east.
Worthy of note include the Statue of Giant, an imposing and impressive structure in reinforced concrete, leaning against a rock, built in 1910 by sculptor and architect Francesco Levacher Minerbi Arrigo, 14 meters high and weighing 1700 tons, representing Neptune. The statue, which adorns Villa Pastine together with a large terrace-shaped shell, was damaged by bombing in World War II. The statue overlooks the homonymous beach and the villa where he spent part of life and the summer holidays the Nobel Prize for Literature, Eugenio Montale.
Punta Masco is the mountain which closes the gulf in front of Monterosso, right overlooking the sea. Nestled in the Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre its reefs are very charming. A beautiful walk of about 1:15 a.m. (towards Levanto) leads to the so-called "traffic light" signaling an old abandoned lighthouse where you can enjoy a spectacular view overlooking the sea (beautiful at sunset). At 100 mts you can also visit the ruins of an old and beautiful church.
