The ancient settlement of Morgantina is listed as "Serra Orlando" in the BTCGI. The association is supported by the Barrington Atlas, but not by Manni (1981) who suggests Caltagirone as a more likely location for Morgantina. The place can be found with the variant spelling "Sella d'Orlando" on older maps and documents.
