Monte Stella, Mountain summit in Locride, Italy.
Monte Stella rises to 832 meters in elevation within the Serre Calabresi region, featuring limestone formations and natural caves throughout its slopes.
The mountain contained important limonite deposits that supported mining operations from 1000 CE until the end of the nineteenth century.
Orthodox monks established a hermitage at Monte Stella before Basilian monks took residence, leaving religious structures that remain visible today.
Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit, providing access points from the municipality of Pazzano through marked trails in the Vallata dello Stilaro.
A Sicilian-style statue from 1562 remains preserved within the mountain's sanctuary cave, representing local artistic traditions.
