Montagna Longa, Mountain summit in Conca d'Oro, Sicily, Italy.

Montagna Longa stretches across 975 meters in elevation, creating a natural boundary between the municipalities of Cinisi and Carini in Palermo province.

Archaeological findings near the summit revealed ancient Carthaginian watchtower ruins, discovered by Palermo archaeologist Mannino during extensive research expeditions.

A memorial cross stands at the summit commemorating 115 victims of Alitalia Flight 112, which crashed into the mountain on May 5, 1972.

The main hiking trail begins at Santa Venera forest and extends nearly 6 kilometers to reach the mountain peak through natural Mediterranean terrain.

The Sicilian Forest Corps utilizes the mountain's elevation for fire monitoring, while television networks maintain broadcasting equipment at strategic points.

Elevation above the sea: 975 m

Part of: Conca d’Oro

GPS coordinates: 38.12159,13.14900
