The province of Caltanissetta (Italian: provincia di Caltanissetta; Sicilian: pruvincia di Nissa or pruvincia di Cartanissetta; officially libero consorzio comunale di Caltanissetta) is a province in the southern part of Sicily, Italy. Following the suppression of the Sicilian provinces, it was replaced in 2015 by the free municipal consortium of Caltanissetta (Italian: libero consorzio comunale di Caltanissetta). The province contains 22 comuni (sg.: comune). Its coat of arms is a red crest and two green leaf stems on top with a laurel leaf on the right and a crown in the middle. The River Salso is the main river of the province; it is 122 kilometres (76 mi) long and originates in the province of Palermo, and it flows into the Mediterranean in this province at the end of the Gulf of Gela.^[2]
