Erice is a beautiful, ancient mountain town on Mount Erice high above Trapani. The town offers stunning views over Trapani and on clear days as far as the mountains of Hammam-Lif in the bay of Tunis.  A centre for tourism today, the town proudly boasts the remains of ancient Elymian and Phoenician walls indicating the different stages of settlement and occupation in the antiquity. There are also two castles that remain in the city, Venus Castele dating from the Norman period and Pepoli castle dating from the Saracen times.
