Places to see in ( Trapani - Italy ) Erice
Erice is a historic town and comune in the province of Trapani in Sicily, Italy. The main town of Erice is located on top of Mount Erice, at around 750 metres (2,460 ft) above sea level, overlooking the city of Trapani, the low western coast towards Marsala, the dramatic Punta del Saraceno and Capo San Vito to the north-east, and the Aegadian Islands on Sicily's north-western coast. Casa Santa forms part of Erice at the base of Mount Erice, immediately adjacent to Trapani. A cable car joins the upper and lower parts of Erice.
The bordering municipalities are Buseto Palizzolo, Paceco, Trapani, Valderice and Custonaci. The hamlets (frazioni) are Ballata, Casa Santa, Crocefissello, Napola, Pizzolungo, Rigaletta, San Cusumano and Torretta.
The ancient Greek name of Erice was Eryx (Έρυξ in Greek), and its foundation was associated with the eponymous Greek hero Eryx. It was not a Greek colony, as the Phoenicians founded it, but was largely Hellenized. It was destroyed in the First Punic War by the Carthaginians, and from then on declined in importance.
Eryx was conquered by Aghlebids in 831 and was renamed as Cebel Hamid (In Western sources Gebel Hamed, meaning Mountain of Hamid). It was ruled by Arabs until the Norman conquest. In 1167 the Normans renamed it Monte San Giuliano. It was known as Monte San Giuliano until 1934.
In the northeastern portion of the city there are the remains of ancient Elymian and Phoenician walls indicating different stages of settlement and occupation in antiquity. A cable car (funivia) ran from 2005 to 2017, when it was closed due to a forest fire, from the outskirts of Trapani to the town of Erice. The cablecar may be rebuilt.
There are two castles that remain in the city: Pepoli Castle, which dates from Saracen times, and the Venus Castle, dating from the Norman period, built on top of the ancient Temple of Venus, where Venus Ericina was worshipped. According to legend, the temple was founded by Aeneas. It was well known throughout the Mediterranean area in the ancient age, and an important cult was celebrated in it. In his book On the Nature of Animals, Aelian writes that animals chosen for sacrifice would voluntarily walk up to the altar to be killed.

Erice, Sicily - One of the Most Beautiful Places on Earth
Part of the University of Detroit Mercy study tour for educators that I was hired to document in 2001. It was a three week study tour of Southern Italy, starting in Rome and going down to Sicily. This is a segment from that video.
This is the trip we took to the town on Erice, on the top of a mountain in Sicily. It was a cloudy day, and the clouds created the most beautiful atmosphere I have ever seen.
In mythology, Erice is said to be the town were Daedalus landed after his son Icarus flew too close to the sun, and the city conquered by Hercules on his way to Greece. I got separated from the group, just taken in with the visuals of the clouds blowing through the streets, and ended up getting lost on the cobble stone streets. It is my favorite memory of any time I've been lost.

Moonlit Temples & Turkish Steps // Sicily, Italy
Take 18: 11th stop on my European Adventure! Finishing off my Sicilian adventure, I ventured out to the south-western side of the island, visited a castle, climbed the famous white Scala dei Turchi (Turkish Steps) and slide down them, swam in the clear blue waters, and visited the Valley of Temples at night time, getting lost in the Temple of Zeus.

Travels for Street Art: Agrigento (Italy)
From Beirut to the narrow streets of the centre of Agrigento, one of the oldest cities in Sicily (Italy). In this documentary we again look out for the local street art scene. In Agrigento, street art is located in two main hotspots near the streets of via Neve and via Vallicaldi. The art is still a bit raw, but with a clear effort to embellish the city.
In this video we talk more about how Italian historical centres. They can leverage on their strengths (beauty, good food, history) to attract a crowd of free-lancer and artists, that can work remotely but are looking for some affordable places where can live and meet with other interesting individuals
We move to the nearby village of Favara to understand how a artistic experiment completely change the phase of the town. It is called the Farm Cultural Park

My Summer Holiday In Sicily
SUBSCRIBE to my channel!
This year I spent my summer holiday in beautiful Sicily. We stayed at the northern side of the island in Cefalù. Being in Cefalù and walking through the small alleys felt like going back in time. I loved the atmosphere and the excellent Italian food never disappointed me. Besides exploring Cefalù, we also made a visit to the capital, Palermo. I enjoyed every minute of my holiday on this beautiful Italian island!
