In Sicily, a modern city can always hide heritage treasures. This is the case for the capital of the province of Central Sicily, the largest city of this inland Sicily, which stretches in the upper Salso Valley to the slopes of Mount San Giuliano. Its name comes from Nissa, a Sicilian-Greek denomination. The Arabs added qal'at which means "rock". Caltanissetta was successively dominated by Arabs, Normans, Swabians, Angevins and Aragonese. After a long domination by the Spanish and the Bourbons, the city was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy in 1860. The city lived for a long time on sulphur. At the end of the last century, it still supplied almost all European consumption: 88 of the 196 Sicilian mines were in Caltanisseta's territory in the 1830s
