'''Bulgheria''' is a {{Convert|1225|m|ft}} mountain in the southern [Cilento](/source/Cilento) region of the [Province of Salerno](/source/Province_of_Salerno), in the [Campania](/source/Campania) region, of southern [Italy](/source/Italy).

==Geography==
The mountain is part of the [Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park](/source/Cilento_and_Vallo_di_Diano_National_Park). The peak is near the southern [Cilentan Coast](/source/Cilentan_Coast) in the municipalities of [Celle di Bulgheria](/source/Celle_di_Bulgheria) and [Camerota](/source/Camerota), near [San Giovanni a Piro](/source/San_Giovanni_a_Piro) and [Roccagloriosa](/source/Roccagloriosa).

==History==
Its name comes from the [Bulgar settlers](/source/Bulgars), who settled here before the year 500, in the town of Celle di Bulgheria which stands on its slopes to the east side{{citation needed|date=March 2017}}.

The mountain is also known as the "sleeping lioness", because it looks like a huge [lion](/source/lion) resting with his eyes turned towards the east, and then the locals like to think it's a lion that is there to protect them.
