This 19th-century municipio (town hall) bears a marble plaque commemorating the 875 men from Erice who joined Garibaldi’s 1860 campaign for Italian unification. Led by Cavaliere Giuseppe Coppola, they fought at Calatafimi. The plaque, installed in 1910, celebrates their role in Sicily’s liberation.
