| Area info. |
The castle is located in the medieval hill-top town of Erice within the province of Trapani on the west coast of Sicily. The origins of Erice stem from its association with Venus, the goddess of fertility and the town was once the site of a magnificent temple. The ‘Castello di Venere’ is the second of the two castles within Erice and occupies the site of the original temple. Besides the history of the town, Erice offers some of the best views in Sicily, with the red rock of Mount Cofano visible to the north, the Egadi Islands and Trapani visible to the south-west and on a clear day, the coast of Tunisia.
Other areas of interest that are within easy driving distance from Erice include San Vito lo Capo (beach resort), Scopello (fishing village), Riserva dello Zingaro (nature reserve) and the temples of Segesta and Selinute. The Province of Trapani also offers some stunning countryside, as well as numerous beaches and bays along the coastline. There is also a ferry service linking Trapani to the nearby Egadi Islands. The nearest International airport is Palermo.
