Facts and practical information

Mount Stella is the highest point in the administrative territory of the municipality of Salerno, at 953 m asl. It is part of the Campanian Apennines and is located in the Picentini Mountains Regional Park.

It is of widespread belief, because of its shape, that Mount Stella is an ancient volcano now extinct, but in reality it is a relief of carbonate nature that has nothing to do with phenomena related to volcanism.
