Monte Calvo

Mount Calvo is the highest peak among those that make up the Gargano massif in Puglia. It reaches an altitude of 1065 m (fifth peak in the region) and has an evident karst morphology. It owes its name to a completely barren peak, surrounded, however, by imposing and dense forests that cover its slopes and extend for most of the territory of the Gargano national park.Among the most interesting aspects of this mountain are the numerous caves, inhabited since prehistoric times. There have been several archaeological finds of finds attributable to the Neolithic: rudimentary parts of axes, flints and various types of tools confirm the presence of man on the Gargano plateaus even in prehistoric and protohistoric times (Dauna civilization).
