Breathtaking view of Trapani, the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding areas. There is also a really cool park on the top of the mountain surrounding this castle

You need around 15-20 min to see the place. There is norhing really to see inside, but the views are georgeous.

This was very poorly administrated it is totally not worth. It is no other thing than a nice viewpoint but there is no information about anything related to the archeological site. There's still nice viewpoint around so it is not worth to enter the place

There is nothing for 5 eur. Only nice view and horrible toilet. Someone should take care of it, since they take money.

The castle is closed but area around with outstanding Beaty. Parking places are located in 3 corners of erice, few minutes walking distance from the castle. Parking free during winter (from 15.11 to 15.03) so we didn’t pay anything

Arroccato sulla sommità di Erice, il Castello di Venere domina il paesaggio con una forza scenografica straordinaria. Costruito in epoca normanna sui resti di un antico santuario dedicato a Venere Ericina, il complesso unisce stratificazione storica e potenza del sito naturale. Le mura e le torri dialogano con il vuoto e con il mare sottostante, offrendo viste ampie e mutevoli sul territorio trapanese.

Interessante sito con anche reperti archeologici di un tempio di dedicato ad Afrodite, trovati negli scavi del 1930. Pare che da allora non sia stato fatto un granché per preservare il luogo. Reperti abbandonati ed esposti alle intemperie. Anche i locali che ospitano mostre d'arte risultano sporchi e trasandati. Peccato.
