Was a outrageously hot day but the hike around the castle and it’s grounds were full of historical ruins and buildings along with beautiful scenery and a outstanding. We didn’t pay the €8 entrance fee to the castle tho as we thought this was a bit expensive to pop in and look for 2minutes as there were 3 of us. The park up the top greets you with shade and benches for a nice place to rest , we also got to sit on fletchers erice stone bench which was kool too x look it up x

El Castillo de Balio es una fortaleza medieval ubicada en la cima de la colina de Erice, en la provincia de Trapani, Sicilia, Italia. Fue construido en el siglo XII por los normandos y ha sido objeto de varias renovaciones y ampliaciones a lo largo de los siglos. El castillo fue utilizado como residencia de los gobernadores normandos y como fortaleza defensiva durante la Edad Media. Durante la época de los Borbones, el castillo fue utilizado como prisión y luego como cuartel militar. Hoy en día, el castillo es un importante sitio turístico y cultural, y es conocido por su impresionante arquitectura y sus vistas panorámicas de la ciudad y el mar. El castillo cuenta con varias salas de exposiciones, donde se pueden ver objetos y artefactos de la época medieval, así como una capilla y una torre de vigilancia. Además, el castillo es el escenario de varios eventos culturales y festivales a lo largo del año, como el Festival de la Música de Erice y la Feria de la Almendra de Erice. En resumen, el Castillo de Balio es un lugar impresionante y lleno de historia que vale la pena visitar si estás en la zona de Erice en Sicilia.

Il Castello e Torri del Bàlio sono una fortificazione militare di Erice di epoca medievale, con annesso giardino. Sia le torri che i giardini prendono il nome dal normanno "baiulo", ossia governatore. Le due torri originarie sono di epoca normanna ed erano collegate al castello di Venere tramite ponte levatoio. Fu successivamente realizzata una terza torre e una cinta muraria, con una porta di accesso sovrastata da un arco con lo stemma degli Asburgo di Spagna. Nei secoli successivi il complesso andò in rovina. Passato al comune con la riforma borbonica (1818-1819), fu dato in concessione al conte Agostino Sieri Pepoli che nel 1872 iniziò la ristrutturazione, e riedificò la torre pentagonale, che era stata abbattuta.
