Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erice<\/strong>, town<\/a>, northwestern Sicily<\/a>, Italy; it lies at 2,464 feet (751 m) above sea level<\/a> on the top of Monte San Giuliano (also called Monte Erice), just northeast of Trapani<\/a> city. The town originated as a settlement of the Elyrir (an ancient Sicilian tribe) and was fortified by the Phoenicians and contested by the Carthaginians and Romans. Known in antiquity as Eryx, it was famous throughout the Mediterranean for the temple of Venus Erycina, which grew out of a local Greek cult of Aphrodite. Later occupied by the Saracens, the town was conquered in the 11th century by the Norman<\/a> count Roger I<\/a> of Sicily, who called it Monte San Giuliano. Although the town is primarily medieval<\/a> in character, ancient remains include cyclopean walls with Phoenician inscriptions and fragments of the celebrated temple. The principal church is the Chiesa Matrice (1314), with a portico from 1426 and a detached tower from 1312.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local occupations are stock-breeding and vine cultivation. Pop. (2006 est.) mun., 28,887.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
