The Monte Barro Natural Park (Italian : Parco naturale del Monte Barro) is a nature reserve in Lombardy, Italy. Established in 2002, it encompasses the Monte Barro massif, a Site of Community Importance near Lecco, between Lake Como and the smaller lakes of Annone and Garlate. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Despite its small size, the park boasts a varied environment (grasslands, woodlands, and rocks) and considerable biological diversity, with over a thousand floral species in fewer than 700 acres, which led to the Center for the Indigenous Flora of Lombardy being established in the park. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]

The fauna includes fire salamanders, kestrels, common buzzards, black kites, peregrine falcons, hen harriers, common ravens, vipers and Aesculapian snakes. [11] [12] [13] [14]

The Piani di Barra archaeological park, centered on late Roman fortifications, is located inside the park, as is an ancient hermitage, today used as visitor center. The park offers a varied range of educational projects for schools. [15] [16] [17] [18]
