Monte Borla, Mountain summit in Apuan Alps, Tuscany, Italy
Monte Borla rises to an elevation of 1,470 meters, featuring limestone formations and offering clear views toward the Tuscan and Ligurian coastlines.
The mountain's name evolved from the Greek word 'bothros', meaning pit or ditch, and appeared in historical maps under the designation Castel Baito.
The mountain hosts Casa Martignoni, constructed in 1923 by Cesare Martignoni, representing the architectural heritage of early 20th-century mountain structures.
Visitors can reach the summit through the marked Sentiero 173 trail, with Rifugio Carrara mountain shelter located 1,042 meters west of the peak.
The mountain slopes contain the Centaurea montis borlae, a plant species that grows exclusively in this specific area of the Apuan Alps.
