With its Gothic towers, imposing facades and choice of dark paint , a perfect setting for a good old style house of horrors movie.

The broken glass villa was constructed in the early 1900's, an eclectic mix of architectural styles, covered substantially by bits of broken sea green glass recovered from the local glassworks factory, mixed in mosaics are bits of broken ceramics and weirdly, bits of JC and other religious figures.

The once stunning house fell into disrepair over time. But was painstakingly restored in the early 2000s and is now a complex of privately owned apartments

What I find strange are the inlays of "parts" of religious figures... This is something I had never seen before.
