Mount Pellegrino (Palermo) sent on February 17, 2019 (16:44) by Alessandro Callea. 44 comments, 757 views. [retina]

at 105mm, 1/400 f/8.0, ISO 100, hand held. Palermo, Italy.

Il Monte Pellegrino (Munti Piddirinu in siciliano) è un promontorio in forma di vera e propria montagna calcarea, alta 609 metri s.l.m., che chiude a Nord il Golfo di Palermo e a Sud il Golfo di Mondello. In epoca antica era conosciuto come Heirkte. Dagli Arabi era chiamato Bel Grin o Gebel Grin (cioè «monte vicino»). Il massiccio montuoso del Monte Pellegrino, che si protende sul mare Tirreno, ha i ripidi fianchi segnati da grotte e fratture millenarie. I viaggiatori del passato, primo fra tutti Goethe, lo definirono «il promontorio più bello del mondo», anche perché vi riscontrarono quei magici contrasti, maestosità e dolcezza, che erano tanto amati nel Settecento e nell'età del Romanticismo. Il Foro Italico e il monte Pellegrino nel 1870. Il Monte Pellegrino non è un semplice promontorio come potrebbe pensare chi lo osserva da Palermo, ma un vero e proprio massiccio montuoso, caratterizzato da fianchi ripidi ricchi di grotte, e da una orografia estremamente movimentata, ricca di pianori praticabili, caratterizzati da fenomeni di carsismo per cui le acque non scorrono in superficie ma filtrano in numerosissimi anfratti per poi riapparire come sorgenti. Il massiccio montuoso visto dall'alto presenta forma allungata, i due lati maggiori guardano l'uno il mare, l'altro la piana verso l'interno. Il lato corto che guarda ad est è quello, celeberrimo, verso Palermo.
