Hiking up the mountain:

Erice...Walking through a postcard!

This AMAZING Medieval mountaintop town/fortresses overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Even though the town is mainly medieval, its roots go back over 3,500 years ago. I am so in love with this town and I am determined to return there soon. We only had about three hours here-which was not enough- so I mainly took in the views and they were all magnificent.

The ride up-amazing views from the bus:






The town:






Plants growing out the archway of a private residence









It is a blast to lose yourself in the streets of the town






Some of the local residences:





The Casttello:

(Now converted into a 7 bedroom hotel-which
I got a tour of because I spoke in broken Italian
saying that I am an architecture student-damn,
I need to play that card more)







I almost wish I was locked in this tower


The castle's courtyard:






The interior of the castle:

*One of the bathrooms has part of the tower wall in the SHOWER*
The family tree is on the tapestry on the back wall
From what I could understand in Italian....
the paintings on the wall were painted by 80
art students from the University of Rome
during the renovation of the castle


The tour guide was good to look at too....wink wink
