Serra da Marofa, Mountain summit in Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, Portugal
Serra da Marofa extends across the municipality of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, reaching an elevation of 977 meters above sea level in central Portugal.
The mountain gained additional recognition in 1956 when local authorities commissioned the construction of a Christ the King statue at its highest point.
The mountain name originated from a historical tale about a Jewish woman named Ofa and a nobleman named Luis during the period of Jewish expulsion.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, offering different difficulty levels and requiring appropriate footwear and weather monitoring for safe exploration.
The mountain provides views spanning three countries: Portugal, Spain, and France, while featuring specific Mediterranean vegetation patterns throughout its slopes.
