90+ Of The Most Stunning Cliff-Side Towns And Villages

Cities built on cliffs present a striking contrast between the natural world and the structures we build to challenge and overcome it. These photos capture stunning views of some of the world’s most epic cliff-side towns and villages.

Many cities or dwellings could have been built on cliffs for various reasons, but this was most often done with defensive advantages in mind. A cliff-side city overlooking a sea passage has a superior command of the surrounding waters and is virtually impossible to assault from the water. On the other hand, towns on steep hills might have been built there to defend themselves from land-based aggressors or because of their proximity to important landmarks like rivers.

If you’ve ever traveled to a cliff-side city with stunning views, we’d love to see them! Please add your photos to this list and vote for your favorites.

Vernazza At Dusk, Cinque Terre, Italy | Felipe Pitta

Vernazza has no car traffic and remains one of the most authentic “fishing villages”, probably the most characteristic of the Cinque Terre, and is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It was founded about 1000 A.D. and ruled by the Republic of Genoa in 1276. Subtle colorful pastels surround the tiny port, and the charming piazza is lined with good restaurants and bars. The village is surrounded by steeply-terraced olive groves that produce among the finest olive oil in the country.
