Mount Arcuentu, Volcanic summit in southwestern Sardinia, Italy
Mount Arcuentu rises to 785 meters, featuring vertical walls and jagged ridges formed by volcanic rocks in the center of Campidano region.
The mountain holds medieval castle remains at its peak, marking a strategic position overlooking the Gulf of Oristano and surrounding mountain ranges.
The name derives from Sardinian word 'arkù', meaning arch, reflecting the characteristic curved shape of the summit rocks against the Mediterranean sky.
Hiking trails begin from Sa Tanca locality, connecting Montevecchio and Marina di Arbus, with marked paths leading through woodland to the summit.
The mountain supports a dense primary forest of holm oak, providing habitat for Sardinian deer, foxes, wild boars, and martens.
