Bulgheria, Mountain summit in Cilento National Park, Italy.
Monte Bulgheria reaches an elevation of 1,225 meters above sea level, featuring Mediterranean vegetation and limestone formations along its slopes and ridges.
The mountain received its name from Bulgarian settlers who established communities near its eastern slopes before the year 500 in the area of Celle di Bulgheria.
Local residents refer to Monte Bulgheria as the sleeping lioness due to its profile resembling a resting lion with its head oriented toward the eastern horizon.
Hiking trails to the summit begin in San Giovanni a Piro, with the nearest train stations located at Policastro Bussentino and Celle di Bulgheria.
The mountain provides clear views across the Tyrrhenian Sea and Gulf of Policastro while standing as an isolated peak with a prominence of 913 meters.
