パチェーコの洞窟・トップ10

The climb that leads to Erice and offers a glimpse of the castles.

As you run along the coast of Trapani and pass the Castello della Colombaia, a very special running highlight opens up. The medieval fortress sits on a small island at the western end of Trapani's harbor and is an impressive sight due to its long history dating back to the First Punic War. The view of the fishing boats in the harbor and the majestic walls of the Colombaia make the run particularly atmospheric - especially in the early morning or late afternoon hours when the light softly falls on the scene. When you run this route, you can literally feel the history in the old walls as you escape everyday life on the quieter streets of Trapani. There are no major elevation changes here for runners, making the route a relaxed choice for any training run. If you are a little off the beaten track, you can experience authentic Trapani on your own - it is worth paying attention not only to the Colombaia, but also to the charming fishing boats and the open sea.

Castello della Colombaia. This ancient fortress is located west of Trapani on a small island. In all its glory, it is best presented from the quay of the Trapani port. Another name for Colombaia is Torre Peliade, meaning the Pigeon Tower. It was probably the place of worship of the goddess Venus Ericina, whose pigeons were sacred animals.
