Licata

Licata (Italian pronunciation: [liˈkaːta], Sicilian: [lɪˈkaːta]; Ancient Greek: Φιντίας, whence Latin: Phintias or Plintis), formerly also Alicata (Sicilian pronunciation: [alɪˈkaːta]), is a city and comune 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. West of the port city there is a series of pocket beaches separated by wave-cut headlands as high as 40 metres (130 ft). (Amore 2002).
