The village of Volastra

Volastra (from the latin Vicus Oleaster, which means the place of olive trees), thanks to its charming geographic position, since the middle age was elected sanctuary of Manarola, which is only 2 Km. far away. Here you may visit the ancient Romanesque church of Nostra Signora della Salute built in the XIII century with huge sandstone blocks and characterized by a bifora (window with two lights) in white marble of Carrara. Volastrabesides offering an extraordinary natural landscape with hills sloping down to the sea, is the most important crossway of paths of the Cinque Terre. In fact, from Volastra you may hike many paths with various levels of difficulty surrounded by a spectacular nature. All the paths are duly signed with red and white strips.
