It stands about 2,912 meters (9,554 feet) tall and features impressive natural caves and rugged peaks. The mountain is known for its underground laboratories, like the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, where scientists conduct advanced research in physics, such as studying neutrinos. Its geology includes large limestone formations formed over millions of years, shaped by tectonic activity and erosion. Gran Sasso's majestic landscape and scientific significance make it a notable natural and cultural landmark in Italy.
