This morning you'll tour Villa Palagonia in Bagheria. The “Villa of the Monsters,” built in the 18th century, was visited by German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1787. He described it as a place filled with “elements of madness.” Certainly, in the late 18th century, such a place was shocking to see. To him, it was a grotesque expression of the unconscious. Let's see what you think when you enter the hall of mirrors!

Become a child again at a show of the UNESCO recognized opera dei pupi, Sicily's marionette theater. After a brief introduction, you'll be transported to the era of knights and ladies! 

We'll arm you with a list of restaurants in Palermo that we think you'll enjoy.
