Erice (Monte San Giuliano until 1934, Èrici or U Munti in Sicilian) is an Italian town in the province of Trapani in Sicily.
In the city center which is located on the summit of the homonymous Mount Erice, only 1024 inhabitants are resident (population that increases tenfold in the summer period), while most of the population is concentrated downstream, in the town of Casa Santa, adjacent to the city of Trapani.
Erice's name derives from Erix, a mythological character, son of Aphrodite and Bute, killed by Heracles.
From 1167 to 1934 it had the name of Monte San Giuliano.
