Monte Hacho, Mediterranean summit in Ceuta, Spain
Monte Hacho rises 204 meters above sea level on the northern coast of Africa, forming a prominent landform at the eastern end of Ceuta.
The Byzantine Empire constructed the initial fortress atop Monte Hacho, which underwent modifications by Arab, Portuguese, and Spanish military forces through centuries.
The mountain holds the Monumento del Llano Amarillo and the Ermita de San Antonio convent, reflecting the Spanish religious and military presence in North Africa.
The Sendero del Hacho trail leads visitors to the summit of Monte Hacho, where they can observe both the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
Monte Hacho stands as one of the potential Pillars of Hercules, marking the ancient boundary between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
