Italy / Sizilien / Licata /
Licata (Greek: Φιντίας; Latin: Phintias or Plintis; formerly also Alicata) is a city located on the south coast of Sicily, at the mouth of the Salso River (the ancient Himera), about midway between Agrigento and Gela. It is a major seaport developed at the turn of the twentieth century, shipping sulphur, the refining of which has made Licata the largest European exporting centre, and asphalt, and at times shipping cheese.
