Calascibetta

Introduction

Calascibetta was born in the middle of the 10th century when the Arabs settled nearby Enna during the siege of Enna. They established 2 km to the north of Enna. Today the town is reached crossing the valley along the A19.
Roger I also established in the same place in the 11th century to lay siege to Enna in the Arabs hand.
On one of its many narrow streets which form a labyrinth is the Cathedral of Saint Peter built in the 14th century.
Another site that is worth visiting is its Necropolis di Realmese, available all day long and of free access. The necropolis features about 300 rock tombs of the 9th and 8th century BC. The old cemetery is approximately 1 km north of Calascibetta.
