Sights in Erice

  1. Chiesa Madre

    Of the several churches and other monuments in this small, quiet town, the Chiesa Madre, just inside Porta Trapani, is probably the most interesting by virtue of its campanile (bell tower) with mullioned windows. Built in 1314, the church had its interior, which has a lovely vaulted ceiling, remodelled in the neo-Gothic style in 1865, but the 15th-century side chapels were conserved.

  2. Museo Civico Antonio Cordici

    At the top of Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the heart of the city, and the place where you'll find the Museo Civico Antonio Cordici. The museum houses finds from the town's necropolis, including a 4th-century head of Venus. The other piece worth seeing is an elegant Annunciation by Antonello Gagini.

  3. Castello di Venere

    The Norman Castello di Venere was built in the 12th and 13th centuries over the Temple of Venus where all that debauchery was taking place. The castle now houses the town’s most exclusive hotel, Torri Pepoli.
