San Cataldo, Administrative district in southwestern Sicily, Italy
San Cataldo sits at 625 meters above sea level within the Sicilian Solfifero plateau, 9 kilometers from the provincial capital Caltanissetta.
The settlement developed into a barony in 1607 when Prince Nicolò Galletti received authorization from King Philip III of Sicily to establish the town.
The name derives from Saint Catald, an Irish monk from the seventh century who traveled through southern Italy and influenced local traditions.
The municipality operates the sole public art high school in the Caltanissetta province, complemented by technical and vocational education institutes.
The population experienced rapid growth from 722 inhabitants in 1623 to 3,066 by 1699 due to migration from neighboring communities like Sutera and Mussomeli.
