Erice, day 2


Sunshine on day 2!!    I am standing in front of Chiesa Matrice di Erice, constructed in 1314 using stones from the ancient Temple of Venus that once stood here.  We walked the stairs to the top of the bell tower (a portion of which can be seen in the left hand side of this photo) to stunning views overlooking the town of Erice and the port of Trapani and the Egadi Islands.
