Licata is a metropolis and comune positioned at the south coast of Sicily at the mouth of the Salso River about midway between Agrigento and Gela. It is a primary seaport developed at the flip of the 20th century, transport sulphur, the refining of which has made Licata the largest European exporting centre, and asphalt and at times shipping cheese.
