This Sicilian municipality of roughly 23,400 residents shares its name with an unexpected historical figure: a 7th-century Irish monk. Born in Munster between 610 and 620, Saint Catald traveled to Italy and eventually served as the bishop of Taranto until his death on March 8, 685.
Located in the province of Caltanissetta, the modern town of San Cataldo sits in the interior of the island. Its name remains a direct tribute to a clergyman who crossed Europe during the early Middle Ages.
