Guri i Capit is a peak of the Morava mountain, located within the park of Bozdovec, in the municipality of Devoll, in southeastern Albania. The peak reaches a height of 1547m (5,075feet) and has been designated a natural monument (cat. III).[1]
Guri i Capit derives its name from a stone monument found in the park that measures approximately NaNm (-2,147,483,648feet) in length, NaNm (-2,147,483,648feet) in width, and roughly 10m (30feet) in height. Legend has it that the name was inspired by a goat that fell onto this stone. The word capit in the local dialect, referring to the standard "cjapit", is English for billy goat.[2]
The monument is predominantly composed of conglomerates and molasse of the Miocene period. Due to variations in erosion and wind effects, it has acquired a captivating shape, resembling a colossal sitting camel. As such, it carries significance in the fields of science, education, aesthetics, and tourism.[3]
