Erice Things to Do Tips by Polly74 Top 5 Page for this destination

The Castles

Surrounded by a lush park, the hilltop castles alone are worth a stop in Erice, which offers charming old stone streets and medieval churches.
Pepoli Castle was at first a feudal stronghold, though Erice was eventually ceded to the Crown as a demesnial city.
The view from the castle towers is stupendous.
Though both castles have been modified somewhat over the centuries, they still have that distinctively medieval character one expects of such fortresses.

The Mother Church

The beautiful Mother Church is essentially a 14th century Gothic structure whose style reflects certain Romanesque influences. An older tower stands at the entrance, and the church itself was built upon a much older structure.
