The church of San Giuliano is one of the oldest places of worship in Erice, dedicated to San Giuliano, martyred in 254 AD. Its construction was commissioned, according to tradition, by the Norman Grand Count Roger in the 11th century, but it has been a place of worship already during the first centuries of Christianity. It was rebuilt between 1612 and 1615, more imposing and with three naves. In 1927 it was closed due to a collapse and reopened after almost 80 years in 2005.
