The church of San Lorenzo from the 14th century is built in the Gothic style. The facade is decorated with a rosette designed by Matteo e Pietro da Campilio, the same ones who had already decorated the Church of San Pietro in Corniglia.
San Lorenzo is the patron saint of Manarola. The festivities take place every year on the evening of August 10th with a procession through the village. The highlight is the transportation of the sedan chair with the statue of Saint Lorenzo in a boat, before being brought back up to the church.
