Villa Sperlinga, 17th-century villa and garden in Palermo, Italy.
Villa Sperlinga features classical architectural elements with a garden containing three sculptures created by artist Vittorio Gentile located within the Libertà district.
Built in 1667 as a hunting reserve for Duke Giovanni Stefano Oneto of Sperlinga, the property later served as a shelter for poor people in 1835.
The Whitaker family transformed the garden into an entertainment venue, hosting tennis competitions and garden parties during the late 19th century.
The villa currently operates as a juvenile rehabilitation center and courthouse, while its public garden remains open to visitors.
The adjacent Torre Sperlinga stands as the fifth tallest building in Palermo, marking the skyline next to the historical gardens.
