A breathtaking view of Vernazza, one of the five historic villages of Cinque Terre, dramatically perched on rugged cliffs overlooking the Ligurian Sea. The iconic medieval watchtower (Doria Castle Tower) crowns the rocky promontory, while characteristic pastel-colored houses cascade down the steep cliff face. The late afternoon light bathes the scene in warm golden hues, highlighting the village's distinctive architecture and the contrast between the colorful buildings and the deep blue Mediterranean waters. In the foreground, native prickly pear cacti frame the view, while the rugged coastline stretches into the distance, showcasing the dramatic natural beauty of the Italian Riviera.
