Monte Poro

Monte Poro rises 710 meters above sea level in Calabria, featuring steep slopes that extend toward the Tyrrhenian coast of southern Italy.

The mountain area contains geological formations studied extensively by researchers, including Nicotera's 1959 examination of the northern slopes and mineral deposits.

The surrounding settlements maintain traditional agricultural practices, with local communities cultivating crops on the mountain's fertile soil throughout generations.

Visitors can access the mountain through local roads near Tropea, though certain sections require appropriate hiking equipment and seasonal weather considerations.

The summit contains deposits of multiple minerals including Albite, Biotite, Feldspar, Garnet, Muscovite, and Quartz in its geological structure.
