Buongiorno,
I´m still writing articles about places in Sicily. I wanna tell you about all those citties I had a chance to visit and perhaps motivate you to come to Sicily one day. I´m studying hard for my exams. So my life isn´t that interesting at the moment anyway..
So, why Bagheria? Two years ago when I went to Sicily I remember that one guy from the party told me he comes from this city. And somehow I couldn´t forget it. Then I´ve found a mention about Bagheria in my guidebook. So, it was decided. Now unfortunately I couldn´t read any more information about this city because I had forgotten my guidebook about Sicily at home.
What do I think about Bagheria? First let me tell you this. When I travel I want to find in every city 2 things: the square and the church. Well, in my opinion you won´t find many nice squares in Bagheria. So, from this point of view I´m a little bit disappointed. On the other hand you can find plenty of nice churches there.
Here are some facts:
- 15 km from Palermo
- population over 50 000
- very popular among aristocratic families from Palermo (until the 19th century)
- lots of famous villas
This city is full of villas.

| Villa Aragona |
Villa Palagonia is the most famous villa in Bagheria (from 1705).

I can´t help myself but I like these kind of streets and always taking photos.
Modern church.
And that´s how their square looks like...
 |
| It´s not so nice, is it? |
This is my favourite view. I can imagine sitting here, looking at the church and doing nothing...
Chiesa Madre di Bagheria.
Of course I had to ask somebody to take a photo.
 |
| Piazza Vittorio Emanuele III. |
Honestly, who would you recognize me?? I wouldn´t.
Chiesa delle Anime Sante del Purgatorio (my favourite church).
 |
Via Corso Umberto I.
 |
| This street is full of shops. |
Two monumental pillars (Villa Palagonia) in Corso Umberto I.
Random beautiful old building.
The nature in Bagheria.
I want to be on the photo as well :-)
And that´s it guys. So, what do you think about Bagheria? Is it worth it or not?
Ciao
Ci vediamo dopo
