Montecorto is a very small town. In 2018, only about 585 people lived there. It covers an area of about 48 square kilometers. The town is located about 500 meters above sea level. This means it is quite high up, often surrounded by hills or mountains.

Becoming a Municipality

Montecorto became its own municipality on October 17, 2014. Before this date, it was part of a larger municipality called Ronda. Becoming a separate municipality means Montecorto now has its own local government. This allows the town to make more decisions for itself.
