Caltanissetta

Caltanissetta sits between the Salso and Imera river valleys in central Sicily, Italy, where rolling uplands define an inland landscape far from the coast. The city developed around a strategic hilltop, still marked by the ruins of the Norman Castello di Pietrarossa. In the 19th century, it became one of Sicily’s principal centres of sulphur mining, an industry that shaped local employment and the surrounding countryside. Its historic core includes the Cathedral of Santa Maria la Nova, while Holy Week processions remain an important annual expression of local tradition.
