The Coppa Nissena climbs towards the city of Caltanissetta. At an altitude of about 580m the city overlooks the valley of the Salso. The ruins of the Castello di Pietrarossa still testify to the importance this exact spot had in the history of Central Sicily.
Its origins can be traced back to the Carthagians around 400 B.C. who build a fortress and named it “Nicia”. The name stuck until a 1000 years later the Saracenes from Arabia conquered the island. They found that Nicia was pronounced very closely to “Nisa”, their word for women. The name “Fortress of the Women”, or “Qal’at al-nisa”, over the years evolved into “Caltanissetta”.
The monument that dominates the city is the Cathedral with its fully decorated interior. But Caltanissetta is full of other historic buildings left by the various nations that ruled Sicily over the centuries.
Geologically the most interesting thing that can be observed near Caltanissetta are mud volcanoes. This is a phenomenon where gas from within the earth can escape towards the surface. The sediments that get pushed upwards with the gas form craters that mimic those of real volcanoes.
