트리에스테‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪12‬개의 산 정상

Unfortunately, the ladder leading to the lookout is completely destroyed and it is no longer possible to climb up.

At the summit of Monte San Leonardo (≈399–400 m above sea level) are the remains of a small church dedicated to San Leonardo, commonly attributed to a medieval period (Romanesque-Byzantine style, possibly 10th–12th century), but the first known documentary mentions date back to 1525. It was already in ruins by the 19th century and, according to some local sources, was further damaged or razed to the ground during the First World War to prevent it from serving as a reference point for observation posts and artillery.

After the steep climb that starts from the village of Samatorza you reach the remains of the church of San Leonardo from which you can enjoy a 360 degree view that ranges from the Gulf of Trieste to the Alps.

On clear days the view across the horizon is magnificent.

The 360° panorama repays the effort

It is a burial mound that dates back to the Bronze Age, it is one of the most panoramic points of the Karst, with a view that ranges from Istria to the Julian Alps. Beware of vipers in the spring-summer period!

Beautiful panoramic views, stretching from Istria to the Carnic Alps, at least on a clear day. To the east, the Pleša, considered the southernmost mountain in the Eastern Alps, is clearly visible.

Just change slopes a little and the climate changes dramatically!
