Monte San Padre

Monte Santu Padre rises to 1025 meters above sea level, featuring basalt formations, pink and green trachyte, andesite, and rhyolite rocks.

The mountain's name evolved from 'Santu Antipatre' as documented in the Condaghe of San Nicolò di Trullas, reflecting regional linguistic changes over centuries.

The summit contains ruins of an ancient church dedicated to Saint Barnabas, adding archaeological significance to the natural mountain environment.

A 10.5-kilometer hiking trail from Bortigali leads to the mountain peak, providing access through natural landscapes of oak and cork trees.

On June 21, 2011, paragliders launched from Bortigali achieved a record-setting flight covering 74 kilometers across the Sardinian landscape.
