THE BALIO TOWERS

Erice was an ancient Greek and Phoenician settlement, secured 751 metres high on the mountain of the same name. It is crowned with a triangular shaped plateau, forming a perfect viewpoint above the sea.
The town was, and still is surrounded by old walls and bastions and has a labyrinth of extremely narrow cobbled streets. The terraces houses have pretty internal courtyards, almost hidden from view.

In ancient times, Erice was known for its temple where the Phoenicians worshipped Astarte, the Greeks worshipped Aphrodite and the Romans worshipped Venus. The fame of the Erice Venus became so important that a temple was built for her in Rome and the cult of Venus spread all over the Mediterranean.
