The first evidence of the city dates to 1239. The inhabitants of the Carpena district, located in the mountains between Cinque Terre and La Spezia, decided to give loyalty to the Genoese people.
In 1251, the inhabitants of the small villages of Mezzacosta decided to unite with the people of Carpena in this area.
Thus, Riomaggiore was built up and created.
In 1340, the Chiesa di San Giovanni Batista was built in the upper part of the town. The church is built in Romanesque and Gothic style, and it underwent a major renovation in 1871, where the Rose Window was preserved. The window is made of marble from Massa Carrara.
Down in the center you can see the Oratorium di Santa Maria Assunta. Inside you can see the Madonna which reminds us of the inhabitants who for several centuries were subjected to looting and kidnapping.
It is a typical Ligurian town. The houses are squeezed between the rocks, and stand vertically in their beautiful yellow, red, and orange colors.
The typical Ligurian colors with which the houses are painted are something very special, and you can really get a good picture here for your archives.
There are not many sandy beaches in this area. But even if you must lie on or by some rocks, jumping in the waves here is popular and attractive.
Cinque Terre is the name of the beautiful coast that stretches from alongside the Italian Riviera di Levante. The coast is littered with cliffs that strike a stark contrast to the waves of the mediterranean that come crashing into them.
The place is named from the 5 small towns that have been squeezed into and between the cliffs. They stretch from Monterosso to Riomaggiore.
