Comune di Mascalucia, Sicily

This is an old house and winery that has been turned into offices for the city of Mascalucia. One of the relatives works in this building and gave us a tour of the rest of the building, which is in great disrepair. They say in the next 2-3 months they are going to refurbish this part of the building and turn it into a museum.

Even in the Winter, this garden is striking.
