The Gela river is located in Sicily. It originates from the Disueri lake and, after about 59 kilometers, flows into the Strait of Sicily of the Mediterranean Sea, near the homonymous town.

OverviewEdit

The extension of the basin of the river is about 569 square kilometers.

Giozzo and Maroglio are its main tributary rivers.

The name Gela (Γέλα) probably comes from the Greek verb γελάω "I smile/laugh".
