Erice (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɛːritʃe]; Sicilian: Èrici ) is a historic town and comune in the province of Trapani in Sicily, Italy.
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, providing spectacular views.
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.

Erice- Trapani- Sizilien - Sicily
Fondata, secondo Tucidite, dagli esuli troiani (gli antichi Elimi), Erice sorge arroccata a 750 m. di altezza sul monte omonimo che domina la città di Trapani, offrendo un panorama mozzafiato dell'intera costa da Marsala a Capo San Vito, compreso l'arcipelago delle Egadi con le isole di Favignana, Marettimo e Levanzo. Abitata da Fenici, Greci e Romani fu, per questi ultimi, sacro luogo di culto della "Venere Ericina", la prima dea della mitologia romana a somiglianza della greca Afrodite. Oggi la cittadina conserva quasi intatto il suo impianto urbanistico medievale con monumenti di grande interesse fra i quali la Chiesa Matrice (XIV sec.). Dal panoramico Giardino del Balio, con il normanno Castello Pepoli ristrutturato nel XIX sec., si accede al famoso Castello di Venere (XII sec.) una ti...
© CLAUDIO MORTINI ** Un salto nel passato è raggiungere le atmosfere magiche di Erice. "Sulla vetta più alta in cielo una medievale borgata irta di torri. È il piccolo borgo di Erice, dominato una volta dal più famoso tempio della dea più famosa, Venere". Con queste parole ammirate, nel 1952, lo scrittore francese Roger Peyrefitte descriveva la bellezza senza tempo di Erice, cittadina siciliana della provincia di Trapani, abbarbicata su un monte a 750 metri di quota. Chiamato Monte San Giuliano sino alla fine del secondo conflitto mondiale, il comune prese poi il nome di un personaggio mitico ucciso da Ercole, lo stesso che porta tuttora. Ma il nome non è l'unico aspetto di Erice che rimanda al passato e alla letteratura classica: le origini del paese sono infatti molto antiche, e i Ro...

Erice ist der Name eines Bergs (Monte Erice) in der Provinz Trapani in der Region Sizilien in Italien. Diese Fotomeditation zeigt diesen Ort. Eine Stadt hoch oben auf dem Berg, einsam im Winter, mit verlassenen Parkbänken, moosbewachsene Steine in nebulösen, steinkaltem Ambiente. Obwohl geheimnisvoll umwittert, mutet der Gang durch die Gassen seltsam, schaudern faszinieren an. Erice, deine Gassen, deine Mauern, dein Licht....seltsam. Erice is the name of a mountain (Mount Erice) in the province of Trapani in Sicily in Italy. This photomeditation shows that place. A city high up on the mountain, alone in winter, with abandoned park benches, mossy covered stones in nebulous, stonegrey atmosphere. Although shrouded in mystery, the passage through the streets seems with strange shudder to...

There were times I betrayed what was sacred to myself and lost.
Over lines I'm ashamed of the things that I had done and crossed.

So fast to run, so fast to run.
