Monte San Vicino

Monte San Vicino reaches an elevation of 1,484 meters within the Umbria-Marche Apennines, stretching between the valleys of Esino and Potenza rivers.

The mountain's name originates from the Latin term 'vicilinus', indicating its function as an observation point during the Roman period in central Italy.

Romans conducted religious ceremonies at the mountain's peak, establishing a connection between the location and their worship of Janus, the god of transitions.

The Regional Natural Reserve of Monte San Vicino includes marked trails, maps, and a Nordic Walking Park for visitors to explore the mountainous terrain.

The mountain's silhouette changes appearance based on viewing direction: a camel's hump from south, three peaks from north, and volcanic structure from east.
