Monte Pirchiriano, Mountain summit in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy.
Monte Pirchiriano rises to 962 meters in elevation within the Cottian Alps, featuring steep rocky slopes and natural vegetation throughout its terrain.
The mountain served as a strategic military position during Roman times, controlling passage routes between Italy and Gaul through the Susa Valley.
The Sacra di San Michele abbey, constructed on the mountain's peak around 966, represents a major architectural achievement of medieval religious construction.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from Sant'Ambrogio di Torino, with the main path taking approximately two hours to complete.
The mountain's distinctive profile creates a natural foundation for the abbey, which extends directly from the rock face at its highest point.
