Features

The building known as the Quartiere Spagnolo is located on a rocky spur that boasts beautiful views of the coast. It dates back to the 17th century and it was destined to house a garrison of Spanish soldiers based in Erice. In the 'Quartiere Spagnolo' the Association Arkè displays the exhibition 'Arts and Crafts of old times...'. An exhibition of objects related to the ancient crafts, enriched with explanatory panels, graphics, videos and pictures.

In this beautiful scenery it is also possible to taste typical local products (on request).

Once you arrive at Erice by cable car from Trapani, just pass the 'Porta Trapani' and the Mother Church, and walk along the picturesque 'via Rabatà', 'Porta Carmine' and 'via Addolorata'.
