Via Antonio Discovolo

For those arriving by train, it is the first point of contact with the village: the exit of the pedestrian tunnel leads directly onto this street, which guides visitors through Manarola in a simple and direct way.

The street descends from the hills and joins Via Renato Birolli in the lower part, following the natural shape of the village. Along the way, homes, local activities and services are concentrated within a compact and easy-to-understand space.

Climbing towards the upper part of the village, you reach the main square, where the Church of San Lorenzo stands, a 14th-century Gothic building with its characteristic marble rose window. Along the street, views open towards the hill of the Tre Croci, where the famous illuminated Nativity scene is set up in winter and can be seen from various points in the village.

Via Discovolo is also where many commercial and dining activities are concentrated: small shops, local products and historic establishments accompany the route, alternating moments of passage with short stops.

Walking along it means crossing Manarola in its most direct form: it is the natural connection between station, centre and sea, but also the space where the everyday rhythm of the village can be felt. The full route can be walked in just a few minutes, linking the main points of interest.
