Monte Monaco, Mountain summit in San Vito Lo Capo, Italy
Monte Monaco rises 532 meters above sea level, forming a natural barrier east of San Vito Lo Capo with Mediterranean vegetation covering its slopes.
The mountain paths were originally created by local inhabitants who used them to access agricultural lands and conduct pastoral activities through generations.
At the summit, visitors contribute to a collective memory by writing their experiences in a dedicated notebook stored within a small niche near a wooden cross.
The hiking trail extends for 3 kilometers, with a climbing duration of 90 minutes uphill and 60 minutes downhill through well-marked paths.
From the peak, observers can view a 360-degree panorama spanning from Erice to Monte Cofano westward and the Gulf of Castellamare toward Palermo eastward.
