Name

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

Description

You can reach its peak through a 10 miles long road, 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 repeaters which transmit in different Sicilian provinces.

On clear days you can see the peak of Etna on 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 as far as the mountains of Palermo and those of Trapani province, while on the south the mountain range of Sicani with Monte delle Rose and the shores of Mediterranean Sea.
