Descrizione

L'antropizzazione di Gela risale al 4500 A.C., ma il periodo Greco è quello documentato dalle antiche fonti e dai ritrovamenti dei reperti.

Gela fu la prima colonia rodio-cretese fondata in Sicilia, secondo Tucidide, nel 689-688 a.C. La città divenne ben presto una delle più importanti dell'isola fino a rivaleggiare con la stessa Siracusa. Le sue mire espansionistiche per il controllo del territorio la portarono a fondare nel 581 a. C. Akragas (Agrigento), e successivamente ad estendere il proprio dominio fino allo Stretto. Dopo la metà del V sec. iniziò il suo declino. Nel 405 a.C. fu conquistata e distrutta dai Cartaginesi. Ricostruita nel IV sec. a.C., fu successivamente oggetto di attacchi da parte di Siracusa, fin quando tra il 285 e il 282 a. C. fu distrutta dal tiranno Agrigentino Phintias che trasferì i suoi abitanti presso Licata dove nacque una nuova città chiamata Phintiade.
