Province of Caltanissetta

The province spans 2,128 square kilometers across central Sicily, reaching from inland mountainous regions to the Mediterranean coast at the Gulf of Gela.

The administrative division underwent significant changes in 2015, transforming from a traditional province into a free municipal consortium of twenty-two distinct municipalities.

The province maintains deep agricultural traditions through olive groves and vineyards, while each municipality contributes its own festivals and culinary specialties.

The territory connects to major Sicilian cities through the A19 motorway system and contains multiple railway stations for regional transportation needs.

The area contained 275 sulfur mines during the industrial period, employing 32,000 workers and establishing itself as a principal mining center.
