Name


Certified since the 1st century as Gemellos Colles,[1] its etymology derives from the orographic conformation with two peaks in relation to that of the near mount Gemini (1397 metres).


Description


The peak can be visited following a 10-mile drive after joining the provincial road connecting Cammarata and Santo Stefano Quisquina. Thanks to its pyramidal shape and orographic position of this mountain, they have built some TV antennas which transmit in different Sicilian provinces. On clear days, the peak of Etna can be seen to the east, the mountain chain of Madonie, Monte San Calogero, and a view of the Tyrrhenian Sea on the north. On the west, there are Rocca Busambra, the mountains of Palermo, and those of Trapani province. On the south, the mountain range of Sicani with Monte delle Rose and the shores of Mediterranean Sea can be seen.
