GRAMMICHELE

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 332 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GRAMMICHELE , a town of
Sicily
 , in the province of Catania, 55 in. S.W. of it by
rail
  and 31 M. direct. Pop. (1901) 15,075. It was built in 1693, after the destruction by an
earthquake
  of the old town of Occhiala to the
north
 ; the latter, on
account
  of the similarity of name, is generally identified with Echetla, a frontier city between Syracusan and Carthaginian territory in the time of
Hiero
  II., which appears to have been originally a Sicel city in which
Greek
  civilization prevailed from the 5th
century
  onwards. To the
east
  of Grammichele a cave shrine of Demeter, with fine votive terra-cottas, has been discovered.
See Mon. Lincei, vii. (1897), 201; Not. degli scavi (1902), 223.
