CALTANISETTA , a town and episcopal see of
Sicily
 , the
capital
  of a province of the same name, 6o m. S.E. of
Palermo
  direct and 83 m. by
rail
 , situated 1930 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901) 43,303. The town is of Saracenic origin, as its name
Kalat
 -al-Nisa, the "Ladies'
Castle
 ," indicates, and some ruins of the old
castle
  (called Pietrarossa) still exist. Otherwise the town contains no buildings of artistic or historical
interest
 , but it commands striking views. It is the centre of the Sicilian
sulphur
  industry and the seat of a royal school of mines. Two miles
east
  is the interesting Norman abbey of S. Spirito.
