Erice is a very well preserved medieval town situated on top of Mount Erice, overlooking Trapani on the west coast of Sicily. It's a 40 minute bus ride winding up the mountain- but definitely worth the trip!
overlooking Trapani.....(see the "sickle")
Venus Castle (formally)- from Norman times...
famous desserts from Erice (delicious by the way!)
Rachel in Corso Vittorio Emanuele....
...even more granita....
Piazza Fish market
The Misteri di Trapani (the Mysteries of Trapani) which are paraded every Easter and are held in the Chiesa del Purgatorio.
Panelle
and of course more granitas... very delicious and refreshing on a hot day
In Trapani one of the most important industries is still fishing as well as harvesting of salt... the centre of town is full of later medieval or early modern buildings and especially in the Baroque style.
