Monte San Padre, Mountain summit in Màrghine region, Italy

Monte San Padre is a mountain summit reaching 1,025 meters in the Märghine region, composed of basalt, pink and green trachyte, andesite, and rhyolite formations. The peak displays diverse geological layers that characterize this Sardinian landscape.

The name derives from the ancient toponym 'Santu Antipatre', cited in the Condaghe di San Nicolò di Trullas, a medieval Sardinian document. Over time the name shifted to Santu Padre. On the plateau behind the summit rocks stand the ruins of a church dedicated to Saint Barnabas; its statue is now kept in the church of Sant'Antonio in Bortigali.

On the plateau behind the rocks crowning the summit lie the ruins of a church dedicated to Saint Barnabas. Its statue is now kept in the small church of Sant'Antonio in Bortigali, so the figure once venerated on the mountain stands in the village below.

The marked trail from Bortigali covers 10.5 km round trip with 510 m of ascent, going up the west side via Cannarza and Mànigos and returning down the east side past S'atta 'e Suerzu 'e Pala and S'atta 'e sa Prama. An anti-fire lookout post stands on the summit.

On 21 June 2011 a paraglider pilot launching from Bortigali covered 74 kilometres, the longest flight recorded from this summit in Sardinia. The peak is one of the island's most sought-after paragliding launch sites, and an anti-fire lookout post of the Ente foreste della Sardegna stands on the top.
