Bagheria, Historic commune in eastern Sicily, Italy.
The streets of Bagheria stretch between numerous 18th-century villas adorned with limestone decorations, statues, and ornate entrance gates.
During the 17th century, Sicilian nobility transformed Bagheria from agricultural land into an estate of grand residences, with Villa Butera marking the initial development.
The Museum of Contemporary Art at Villa Cattolica displays works by native artist Renato Guttuso alongside collections from various Sicilian painters.
Visitors can reach Villa Palagonia and other historical buildings by following the main street, Corso Umberto I, which runs through the center.
Villa Palagonia features 200 carved stone figures of creatures with distorted human faces, animals, and mythological beings around its exterior walls.
