    The Norman Castle of Erice, or Castle of Venus, stands on the ruins of what was originally a sanctuary.
    The remains of the structure visible today correspond to the fortress that the Normans erected in 1100 recovering the pre-existing stone materials.

      The Castello lies massive and forbidding on a massive block of rock.
