Sciacca

Sciacca is a city and comune inside the province of Agrigento on the southwestern coast of Sicily, southern Italy. It has perspectives of the Mediterranean Sea. Thermae changed into based within the 5th century BC by way of the Greeks as its call imports, as a thermal spa for Selinunte, whose residents came there to bathe within the sulphurous springs of Mount San Calogero, which rises up at the back of the town.

haven't any account of the existence of a city on the web site at some point of the period of the independence of Selinunte, even though there's little doubt that the thermal waters would constantly have attracted some populace to the spot. Nor even below the Romans did the vicinity reap to something like the equal significance with the northern Thermae and there may be little question that Pliny is wrong in assigning the rank of a colonial to the southern in place of the northern metropolis of the name. Strabo mentions the waters and they are once more noticed in the Itineraries below the name of Aqua Labodes.
