Erice is a wonderfully preserved medieval town offering the most breathtaking views and a palpable sense of history. If you have a car, it’s worth driving up there because the views are amazing, and the road is beautiful but may be scary. If you stay the night in Erice, it’s recommended to book accommodation that includes a personal parking spot.

Erice hosts more than sixty churches, some of which are architectural documents of great value and historical evidence: among them, the church of St. Martin, San Cataldo, and San Giuliano di San Giovanni Battista.
