Italy Erice

Perched atop a spectacular rocky outcrop, the Castello Normanno (Norman Castle) in Erice, Sicily, is an impressive historic monument surrounded by lush pine forests. This castle was built using stones from the ancient Temple of Venus, which dates back to the 9th–8th centuries B.C. and served as a sacred site for the worship of the goddess of fertility. A rich history envelops visitors as they explore this magnificent structure, which echoes with the tales of ancient Mediterranean cultures.

Check local drone regulations first. You might need to obtain a permit from the local authorities.
Aim for golden hour to get a nice light on the castle and town. Use the drone zoom if you got one to isolate your subject !

It's a bit tricky to park in the city, so aim to get there very early in high season. If you're here during low season, you might find easily a place to park near the castle. Best is to stay in the village and book something with a private parking !
