Piazza Don Giovanni Minzoni is the main square of Monterosso al Mare's old town, surrounded by the distinctive striped facades that characterise this Cinque Terre village. The piazza is lined with terraces and shops, and stands as home to the Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista. Bustling throughout the day, it forms the social heart of the historic settlement, where locals and visitors alike gather beneath colourful buildings and shaded awnings.
