Licata

An ancient settlement on the south coast of Sicily at the mouth of the Salso River, with occupation from the Bronze Age through the Roman period [1] [2]. Monte Petrulla contains a monumental necropolis [1] [3]. Phoenicians traded here between the 12th and 8th centuries BC [1] [4]. The town of Phintias, founded around 282 BC, represents the last Greek colonial foundation in Sicily [5].
