Villa Palagonia, is a Baroque palazzo situated in the town of Bagheria, a 20 minute train ride from Palermo. A Sicilian prince built it and after being jilted by his wife adorned the walls with weird stone figures in various positions of copulation. He spent all his money on this palazzo. He is said to be raising money for various charities by demanding donations from the villagers. Today the villa is owned by a Sicilian family who has allowed it to be opened to the public.
