Montmeneu (Catalan pronunciation: [mumːəˈnew]) or Punta de Montmaneu is a mountain in Catalonia, Spain. It is located within the La Granja d'Escarp and Seròs municipal limits, Segrià.

Geography

[edit]

Montmeneu is an isolated hill of the Catalan Central Depression.[1] Since it is surrounded by flat landscape, the mountain is visible over long distances.

There is a triangulation station at the top marked "247126001". Although it is not the highest hill in the region —the Puntal dels Escambrons is 5 m higher— the top offers extensive views of the surrounding landscape.[2]

This mountain is one of the Emblematic summits of Catalonia.[3]
