The most beautiful Baroque Palace of the city. Even the british band Coldplay chose it to film one of their music videos (Violet Hill).
You can barely see it from the street, but once inside, you'll know it's worth the visit.
The visits are organized by the funny owner of the Palace, Mr Ruggero, one of the descendents of the Princes of Biscari.
