Monti Sicani

The Monti Sicani are a mountain chain in central-southern Sicily, southern Italy, divided between the provinces of Agrigento and Palermo.

It also includes a proper mountain area reaching altitudes above 900 m, with Mesozoic limestone rocks.

The territory of the Sicani mountains offers different habitats to wildlife that is rich in both vertebrates and invertebrates.

The Sicani mountains are home to several species of birds of prey, such as the golden eagle and the Egyptian capovaccaio, constituting their only breeding sites in Sicily.

Other, more widespread species include the peregrine falcon, kestrel, and the barn owl.
