CaltanissettaVillalba.
A hamlet stood here in Arab times, and it stilI existed in 1175. The modern town was founded by Nicolò Palmieri Calafato in 1753.

The Chiesa Madre, dedicated to the patron St Joseph, takes up one side of the wide Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. A statue of the saint, sculpted by Filippo Quattrocchi in the 18th c., is in the church. Another statue by the same Palermo sculptor stands above the main altar of the Chiesa della Concezione, in Piazza Marconi. The 18th c. Palazzo del Barone Palmieri Morillo is situated between the old roads formerly known as Via del Fico and Via San Luce (now Via Roma and Via Cesare Battisti).
