Province of Caltanissetta, Former province in central Sicily, Italy.
Caltanissetta is a former province in central Sicily that stretches from inland mountainous regions to the Mediterranean coast at the Gulf of Gela. The landscape mixes plateaus, valleys, and smaller coastal areas across its different towns.
The territory was reorganized in 2015, transforming from a traditional province into a free municipal consortium of twenty-two towns. This change reflected a shift toward a more flexible administrative structure for Sicily.
The region maintains deep agricultural roots through olive groves and vineyards, with each town showcasing its own local festivals and food specialties.
The area connects to other Sicilian cities through the A19 motorway and multiple railway stations throughout the region. Traveling through smaller towns and rural areas is easiest by car or local buses.
During its industrial period, the area was a major mining hub with hundreds of sulfur mines employing thousands of workers. This industry deeply shaped the local economy and landscape for generations.
