Uomo di Cagna

Uomo di Cagna, Granite mountain peak in Corse-du-Sud, France.

Uomo di Cagna is a granite peak in the Montagne de Cagna range, distinguished by two large boulders at its summit. These stones form a recognizable human figure and reach an elevation of approximately 1,200 meters.

The name Omu di Cagna, "man of Cagna", comes from the two huge granite blocks stacked on the summit, which give the peak its human silhouette. A traditional Corsican verse makes the summit a sentinel facing the Lion of Roccapina: the lion watches the sea, the man watches the mountain. The two rocks relate to the Ortolu valley, which the peak overlooks to the west, while the Lion stands at the river's mouth.

The name Omu di Cagna means "man of Cagna" in Corsican, from the two stacked granite blocks crowning the summit that give it a human silhouette. A verse of a traditional Corsican song links it with the Lion of Roccapina: the lion says it watches the coast while the Omu watches the mountain, a division of roles between sea and mountain.

The summit sits on the border of Monacia-d'Aullène and Pianottoli-Caldarello, above the village of Gianuccio (Ghjanuciu), a hamlet of Monacia-d'Aullène. The climb reaches 1,217 m, so plan for open, exposed granite slopes and changeable weather; the top commands the Figari plain to the south-east and the Ortolu valley to the west.

The summit's two stacked granite blocks give the peak its name, Omu di Cagna, "man of Cagna" in Corsican, because from a distance they form a human silhouette. A traditional song links it with the Lion of Roccapina: the lion watches the sea, the man watches the mountain.
