Caltanissetta is a historic city located in central Sicily, serving as the capital of the province bearing the same name. The city's origins date back to the Arab period, as evidenced by its name which is believed to derive from the Arabic "Qal'at an-Nisa'" meaning "women's castle."

The city developed significantly during the medieval period and later became an important mining center due to its sulfur mines, which played a crucial role in Sicily's industrial history. Today, Caltanissetta maintains its historical character through its architectural heritage, including notable religious buildings such as the Cathedral of Santa Maria la Nova and the Church of Sant'Agata. The city's cultural landscape is enriched by its museums, which preserve and showcase both its archaeological findings and its mining heritage.
