Monte Casale

Monte Casale rises to an elevation of 910 meters above sea level, forming a natural boundary between the provinces of Syracuse and Ragusa in Sicily.

Archaeological excavations conducted by Paolo Orsi in the early 20th century revealed substantial remains connected to the ancient Greek settlement of Casmene.

The mountain stands as part of the Hyblaean Mountains, functioning as a crucial watershed between the Irminio and Anapo rivers that shape the regional geography.

Multiple trails lead to the summit of Monte Casale, offering visitors access through varied terrains while requiring proper hiking equipment and weather monitoring.

Monte Casale represents one of the earliest volcanic formations in the Hyblaean mountain range, containing geological structures that date back millions of years.
