Erice is a charming medieval village, among the most beautiful in Italy, located on the top of the mountain of the same name, on the west coast of Sicily, just 13 km from the province of Trapani. This charming place is characterized by a mix of architectural styles, ranging from medieval to Arabic, from Baroque to Liberty, reflecting the rich and complex history of this small town. Walking through its narrow streets, you will discover watchtowers, monasteries, historic gates and a mysterious castle, as well as more than sixty churches, all enclosed by imposing Cyclopean walls. Erice is really a place to explore for those who love history and architecture. If you're a sweet tooth, you can't miss Genovese, Erice's typical dessert! I recommend you try it in one of the famous pastry shops in the village, where you can enjoy this delight filled with custard. It is a real pleasure for the palate that will make you appreciate even more the culinary tradition of this enchanting place!
