Érice - Porta Trapani

The outline of Érice is triangular. The winding streets end in the southwest corner, in front of the Porta Trapani, one of the three Norman gates placed along the length of the town wall. It is possible, however, to go by bus or car on the outside of the town on the south side as far as the town park (Giardino del Balio). This was where, in the southeast corner, the ancient acropolis stood and it is the best place to begin a tour of the town.
