Tourist Information Office in Erice

Excellent

The bell tower of the Erice Cathedral is separated from the temple and just in front. It was built before the Cathedral in 1315, as an Aragon watchtower. It has a square base and is divided into three sections. The facade is decorated with narrow windows. Inside on the ground floor there is a tourist information office. This is where you can buy tickets to visit the monuments of the medieval citadel. You can also go up to the terrace of the the tower (400 steps) and get some really spectacular views.

Campanile

Campanile

Une ancienne tour de guet, la Tour du Roi "Federico", a été reconvertie en campanile de la cathédrale royale d'Erice. On peut grimper au sommet pour une vue dominante, mais les nuages sont fréquents sur cette montagne où se trouve Erice, et le panorama en souffre quoique cela ait un certain charme d'être dans le brouillard alors que, plus bas, l'eau s'évapore dans les marais salants. L'allure médiévale de ce clocher (attention aux oreilles sur la terrasse, car les cloches fonctionnent pour donner l'heure) est emplie de charmes avec des fenêtres géminées.
An old watchtower, the King's Tower "Federico" t converted into a bell tower of the royal cathedral of Erice. You can climb to the top for a panoramic view, but the clouds are frquents on this mountain is o Erice, and the panorama is suffering though it has a certain charm of being in the fog while lower, the water s 'evaporates in salt marshes. The look of this medieval tower (watch ears on the terrace, as the bells to tell time work) is full of charm with gmines windows.
