Monte Forte

Monte Forte rises to 464 meters above sea level in the Nurra region, featuring Mediterranean vegetation with holm oaks and strawberry trees.

The remains of the ancient Monteforte Castle, with its foundation traces still visible, stand at the mountain's summit as a testament to past settlements.

The mountain forms part of Sardinia's northwestern territory, where local communities maintain traditional agricultural practices in surrounding settlements.

Visitors can reach Monte Forte through Provincial Road 18, connecting the mountain area to major centers and providing access to hiking trails.

From June to October, a regional fire prevention lookout station operates at the peak, monitoring from the Gulf of Asinara to the Alghero plain.
