View from Erice looking east along the north shore of Sicily; Erice is a historic town and comune in the province of Trapani in Sicily, Italy. It is located on top of Mount Erice, at around 750m above sea level, overlooking the city of Trapani, and the sea. There are two castles in the city: Pepoli Castle, which dates from Saracen times, and the Venus Castle (Castello de Venere), dating from the Norman period, built on top of the ancient Roman Temple of Venus.
