Monte Sillara is the highest peak in the Appennino, a sub-chain of the central Apennines in the province of Parma, north Italy. It has an altitude of 1,861 m. The Sillara is located at the boundary of the provinces of Parma and Massa-Carrara, divided between the comuni of Monchio delle Corti (northern slopes) and Bagnone (southern ones).
On the Parmense sie are two small glacial lakes, the Lake Sillara Superiore (11,400 sq. m, at 1,732 m) and the Lake Sillara Inferiore (11,350 sq. m, at 1,731 m). The source of the Bagnone torrent, a left affluence of the Magra River, can be found on the southern Sillara.
