SS 118 Palermo-Agrigento.
Location
This town has a beautiful situation in the interior of the island to the south of Palermo in a hollow between peaks of the Monti Sicani. The name is derived from the Arabic Kürlion; in Arab times, with its two fortresses on hills in the south and east, it had a strategic importance. In 1237 Frederick II founded a colony of Lombards here. In 1536 a fall of rock destroyed part of the town, which was subsequently rebuilt.
