Gela was in ancient times the seat of power of Hippocrates, a Greek tyrant who nearly united all of Sicily in the 4th century BC. Since then, the city has seen rough times, having been sacked by Turkish pirates, French occupying armies, and suffering heavy bombing by both Allied and German forces during World War II. The Mafia controlled much of the city through the 1980's, 90's, and early 2000's before being dismantled by local authorities. The strong Mafia influence in the city is responsible for Gela's relative lack of tourism when compared to other coastal Sicilian cities. When hotels and restaurants fail in the city, it is typically attributed to the mafia. However, in recent years, several major universities have opened facilities in Gela's historic city center and between this activity, the charming seaside promenade, and local archaeological sites which have been renovated to accommodate the tourism industry, today's visitors will enjoy an authentic Italian experience which you won't find elsewhere.
