San Nicola Arcella

A seaside village on the Riviera dei Cedri, built on a 110-metre cliff above a bay closed off by a rocky arm into a natural harbour. Its old quarter, the Casaletto, grew from houses built by fishermen and a prince's settlers. Below lie three bays along about 3 km of coast, the most famous framed by the huge rock arch of the Arco Magno.
