Taburnus, Mountain massif in Province Benevento, Italy
The Taburnus massif rises to 1,393 meters and consists of two calcareous mountain groups separated by a wide natural plain in southern Italy.
Romans referred to this mountain during the Battle of Caudine Forks, and Virgil mentioned it in both the Aeneid and Georgics literary works.
The mountain slopes contain the remains of Santa Maria in Gruptis abbey from the 10th century and a 15th-century sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin.
The mountain area offers numerous hiking trails through forests of European silver fir and beech trees at elevations above 1,000 meters.
The geological composition creates extensive karst formations, with water from the Fizzo source flowing to the Royal Palace of Caserta through Vanvitelli Aqueduct.
