The Belice, {{Langx|scn|'Bilici'}}, is a river of western Sicily. It is about {{convert|77|km|mi}} long.{{r|deag}} From its main source near Piana degli Albanesi it runs south and west for {{convert|45.5|km|mi}} as the Belice Destro ("right Belice") until it is joined near Poggioreale by its secondary branch, the {{convert|42|km|mi|adj=on}} Belice Sinistro ("left Belice"), which rises on the slopes of Rocca Busambra. The Belice proper then flows for another {{convert|30|km|mi}} or so before entering the Strait of Sicily to the east of the ancient Greek archaeological site of Selinunte. During Classical times it was known as the Hypsas.
