Calascibetta (Sicilian: Calascibbetta) is a comune in the Province of Enna, Sicily, southern Italy. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").
==History== It was assumed that Calascibetta was founded in the 9th century as a Muslim military camp, on the fortress in front of Henna, to attempt the siege of the Byzantine stronghold. The territory was already inhabited in ancient times, as evidenced by the necropolis of Calcarella (11th and 10th centuries BC), of Realmese (with tombs of the 9th and 6th centuries BC), of Valle Coniglio (10th and 7th century BC) and of Malpasso (Copper Age).
