In 241 days Patron saint festival
24 June 2027
Thursday 24 June
Riomaggiore · La Spezia · Liguria
On 24 June Riomaggiore celebrates the Baptist in the church that carries his name, above the village of vertical houses that opens the Cinque Terre.
The patron of Riomaggiore is Saint John the Baptist and his day falls on 24 June. The church dedicated to him stands high above the village, over the vertical houses that drop towards the harbour.
It is the villagers' own feast, in a place that in summer belongs mostly to those passing through: 24 June is one of the few days when the village looks at itself.
