Erice: The Medieval Village Up The Mountain | The Sicilian Wanderer | Video

Dec 02, 2021 582

A lovely place, full of childhood memories and beautiful colours. Erice is one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy, with a long and troubled history. Founded by the Phoenicians, Erice was destroyed by the Carthaginians during the First Punic War, saw a steep decline during the Arab domination and went back to its glory days with the Normans, in the High Middle Ages.
