San Cataldo Italy

The territory of San Cataldo lies in an inland hilly area that stretches from north to central Sicily, between the municipalities of Serradifalco, Mussomeli, and Caltanissetta, within the region that includes the Sicilian Sulphur Plateau (a former mining area). Within the territory there is evidence of human settlements dating back to the 6th century BC, although the present town has more recent origins. The municipality was in fact founded by Prince Nicolò Galletti in 1607, when he obtained permission to build and populate the old hamlet of “Calironi,” located within the Barony of Fiumesalato and dedicated to Saint Catald. Over the years, San Cataldo has undergone several changes from an urban-planning perspective, to the point that today it appears as a new city, where recent buildings predominate and few structures can claim historical value. The only cultural testimonies of the past are some noble churches and historic buildings.
