... our summer holiday did not stop only to beautiful places of the sea as Castellammare , SanVito , and Egadi ... but I think we could visit one of the most 'beautiful in the world! ERICE ! ... This wonderful town is less than an hour and just 20 minutes from Trapani SanVito! ... Very welcome destination for tourists passing through the province of Trapani! It 'really a surprise visit ERICE ! ... Placed at the top of Mount San Giuliano, the myth is interwoven archeology witnessing the lives of ancient peoples and civilizations! The city is surrounded by massive walls date from the seventh sec.AC. at whose corners stand the Norman castle (Castle of Venus) and Cathedral which houses the fourteenth-century Gothic tower with the bell. The center shows a typical medieval urban layout with narrow, winding streets and squares in which overlook beautiful flower-filled courtyards. Erice hosts more than sixty churches ... and maintains the charm of old medieval village inspired by the workshops of traditional crafts: fine ceramic, the colorful hand-woven carpets, traditional sweets made of almond and fruit candied ... mmm ... :) In the penultimate photo: Trapani, the islands of Favignana, Marettimo Levanzo and views from Erice.
