Canicattì, Municipal commune in eastern Sicily, Italy.
Located 90 kilometers southeast of Palermo, Canicattì extends across 91 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 465 meters above sea level.
The settlement dates back to pre-Roman times, with its name originating from Arabic 'Khandaq al-tin', meaning clay ditch, reflecting early Muslim presence.
Religious buildings in Canicattì include San Diego church, San Giuseppe church, and Chiesa Madre San Pancrazio, representing centuries of Catholic architectural evolution.
The central railway station in Canicattì functions as a regional transportation hub, connecting multiple local rail lines across the Sicilian network.
In 1448, Andrea De Crescenzio received royal permission to expand Canicattì's population, transforming it from a small settlement of 1,000 inhabitants.
