The house, part of an old sicilian villa once called Santa Barbara, still stands -- but in really poor condition as the pictures attest.<br /><br />All images by Luigi Santos-Hammarlund. <a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="absMiddle" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31124547.post-1152887225630696762006-07-14T14:27:00.000+00:002006-07-14T15:08:40.943+00:00Cefalu<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/36/6072/1024/DSC_0196.jpg"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/36/6072/400/DSC_0196.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Cefalu, Sicily, viewed from La Rocca. The town was mentioned for the first time in 396 BCE in an account by Diodorus Siculus, but Cefalu is more famous for its medieval monuments and, of course, for being the location of the Crowley's Abbey.

The room had been completely decorated with huge murals painted by Crowley and Jane Wolfe -- unfortunately today just small parts of the frescoes are still visible. The walls were painted over later on by the subsequent tenants of the house. In 1955 filmmaker Kenneth Anger went to the Abbey and uncovered some of the works, which still lay beneath the whitewash.
