Riserva naturale orientata Monte Capodarso e Valle dell'Imera Meridionale
Riserva naturale orientata Monte Capodarso e Valle dell'Imera Meridionale, Regional nature reserve in Caltanissetta and Enna provinces, Sicily, Italy.
The reserve spans 1,485 hectares of diverse landscapes, including Monte Capodarso's slopes, the Imera Meridionale river valley, and numerous geological formations.
Established in 1999, the reserve incorporates three former sulfur mines - Trabonella, Giumentaro, and Giumentarello - representing Sicily's industrial heritage.
The territory contains ancient Hellenistic settlements with rock-carved stairs and traditional Sicilian agricultural estates featuring characteristic baglio courtyards.
Multiple access points through highways SS626, SS191, and SS560 allow visitors to reach different sections of the reserve for hiking and nature observation.
The reserve's water bodies flow over evaporitic outcrops, creating mineralized waters that support specialized coastal brackish marsh vegetation inland.
