There is the historic hilltop town of Erice, a half mile up and reached by cable car, it has been strategically important for millennia, with the Phoenicians fortifying the town long before the Greeks arrived. There are a number of archeological sites pointing to Sicily's powerful position as the western point of Magna Graecia in Classical times. There is the lovely town of Marsala, with its 16th century centre, and the fishing port of Mazara del Vallo.
