Montemonaco

The landscape around Montemonaco is rugged and mountainous in the Sibillini range, which has shaped both the village’s compact form and its mountain economy. In the Marche hinterland, the town lies within Monti Sibillini National Park, beneath Monte Sibilla, one of the best-known peaks of the central Apennines. The mountain’s cave is bound to the old legend of the Sibyl, a figure that gave the peak its name and remains central to local identity. Montemonaco is also a practical base for walking routes across high pastures, beech woods and upland valleys, while its stone-built centre preserves the character of an Apennine settlement.
