Lonely Planet review

At the top of the hill stands the Norman Castello di Venere, built in the 12th and 13th centuries over an ancient temple of Venus, which was destroyed by Roger I when he captured the town. Not much more than a ruin today, the castle is upstaged by the panoramic vistas northeast to San Vito lo Capo and Monte Cofano (659m), and southwest to Trapani.
