SS 120 Termini Imerese-Nicosía.
Location
This remote town, situated in mountains deep in the interior of the island, between Petralia Sottana and Nicosía, was in ancient times a Sikel settlement and outside the Greek sphere of influence.
The Gothic campanile of the Chiesa di San Nicola (14th century) dominates the town, in which there are large numbers of Sikel rock caves. These are still partially inhabited, as are similar ones at Sperlinga, but have normal house fronts, so that at first sight they are not recognizable as cave dwellings.
