The mountain was named after the Archangel Gabriel.
During the First World War it was an impregnable stronghold of the Austro-Hungarian Army, full of tunnels and trenches. The mountain was hard fought over in the Eleventh Battle of the Isonzo, when the top of the San Gabriel was lost and recaptured nine times by the Austro-Hungarians.
