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]
