The volcanic massif of Mount Arcuentu extends inland parallel to the Costa Verde and is bordered to the south by the Monte Linas. The nature of its rocks is mainly basalt, but on the western side are pumice tuffs fossil sloping down to the coast. The core, of which Mount Arcuentu (784 m) is the highest peak, is made up of a series of basaltic spiers that make this volcanic landscape, virtually uninhabited, really spectacular. Another notable peak is Mount Maiori (725 m) which is separated from M.Arcuentu Passo Genna Flore (498 m). The ruins of a castle on top of Mount Arcuentu show that in the past there was a military post, good for the view along the coast or on the inside, towards the Campidano.
