Like so many Sicilian town, Erice passed from one invader to another leaving their architectural calling cards and their cultural footprints. Often covered in its own personal cloud, Erice is a wonderfully preserved Medieval town, just above Trapani, offering the most breath-taking views and a palpable sense of history. Here five places must-see in Erice.

Venus Castle ane the Balio Gardens

The castle was built during the Normans domination (XII century) in the extreme south-east corner of the mount. It was probably erected on the ruins of a Elymians-Phoenicians-Romans temple.
