Known for its pastel-coloured houses that slope down to the Mediterranean Sea, Manarola, seen in today's image, looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. Set on the rugged cliffs of the Ligurian coast of Italy, it is one of five villages that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cinque Terre National Park. The name 'Manarola' could be derived from the Latin 'Magna rota', which in the local dialect became 'Magna roea' (big wheel), referring to the large wheel of the village's historic mill.
