Monte Gonare, Mountain summit in Orani, Italy

Monte Gonare rises to 1083 meters between Sarule and Orani municipalities, featuring three distinct peaks and limestone formations covered with Mediterranean vegetation.

The mountain received its name from Judge Gonario II of Torres, who built a sanctuary in the 12th century after surviving a dangerous sea voyage.

The sanctuary at Monte Gonare hosts an annual September festival where communities from Sarule and Orani organize religious ceremonies and traditional celebrations.

Visitors can access Monte Gonare through marked trails starting at Sarule, following a 13.4-kilometer path that takes approximately four hours to complete.

The mountain's geological composition combines limestone and granite formations, creating a habitat for rare species including endemic Sardinian tree frogs.
