Monte San Giuliano was the historical name of the town and territory of Erice in western Sicily from the Norman period until 1934. The site originated as the ancient city of Eryx, but was reorganised and reoccupied after the Norman conquest of the 11th century, and gradually developed into an administrative and religious centre in western Sicily.
In the later Middle Ages the settlement expanded beyond its earlier core and came to occupy much of the Monte Erice plateau. The resulting layout, often described as broadly triangular, reflects this phase of growth.
