In the western side of Sicily, at the slopes of Mount Kronio, not far from Sciacca, there is the “Enchanted Castle”, that is a wonderful place invented by the creativity of man and nature where, besides olives and almond trees, you can find heads engraved in stone by Filippo Bentivegna, called “Philip of the heads”, a real artist endowed by an excellent creativity, one of the greatest exponents of “art brut” or “outside art”.

The House-Museum ”Francesco Scaglione” is a unique istance of an eighteenth century “re-enactment museum”. It is a good example of the illuminated collecting which was flowering all over Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, thanks to the contribution of rich individuals.. The building is next to the cathedral in the old town centre, the same place where the church of Santo Stefano used to stand before it was demolished in the sixteenth century. On the first floor, the largest of the communal rooms looks out on a small garden, while the private rooms offer a good view of the square.
