Nicosia, Mountain commune in Sicily, Italy
Nicosia stands at 724 meters above sea level, spread across four rocky hills in the Free Municipal Consortium of Enna, Sicily.
Byzantine settlers established the settlement in the 6th century, which later developed under Arab rule and Norman influence through subsequent centuries.
The local dialect preserves Lombard linguistic elements from medieval settlers, making it distinct from standard Sicilian speech patterns.
The town provides access to numerous hiking trails that connect different sections, allowing visitors to explore medieval streets and ancient architecture.
The Cathedral of San Nicolo features a 15th-century portal and contains a significant painting by Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera.
