The Monti Trebulani or Colli Caprensi is a mountain range in the province of Caserta, Campania, southern Italy.[1][2]

They take their name from the ancient city of Trebula Balliensis, a Roman colony founded in the 3rd-2nd century BC, whose remains are in the frazione Treglia of the comune of Pontelatone.[3]

The range has a length of approximately 20 km,[4] from north to south, starting from the territory of Pietravairano to Bellona. The highest peak in the range is Monte Maggiore, at 1,036 metres (3,999 ft).[citation needed]

Sights include the grotto of San Michele, in the comune of Liberi.
