Erice is a small village, recognized as an Honorary Guest among the most beautiful in Italy, located in the clouds. Yes, you can reach the village by taking a cable car. If the sky is clear you can admire incredible landscapes, if you find a low cloud you can walk inside.
The city centre, with only 512 inhabitants, is located on the homonymous Mount Erice, while the majority of the population is concentrated in the town of Casa Santa, contiguous to the city of Trapani. The name of Erice derives from Erix, a mythological character, son of Aphrodite and Bute, killed by Heracles. From 1167 to 1934 it had the name of Monte San Giuliano.
