'''Licata''' ({{IPA|it|liˈkaːta}}, {{IPA|scn|lɪˈkaːta|lang}}; {{langx|grc|Φιντίας}}, whence {{langx|la|Phintias}} or ''Plintis''), formerly also '''Alicata''' ({{IPA|scn|alɪˈkaːta}}), is a city and ''[[comune]]'' located on the south coast of [[Sicily]], at the mouth of the [[Salso River]] (the ancient ''Himera''), about midway between [[Agrigento]] and [[Gela]]. It is a major [[seaport]] developed at the turn of the twentieth century, shipping [[sulfur|sulphur]], the refining of which has made Licata the largest European exporting centre, and [[Bitumen|asphalt]], and at times shipping [[cheese]].

West of the port city there is a series of pocket beaches separated by wave-cut headlands as high as {{convert|40|m|ft}}. (Amore 2002).
