Bagheria (; ) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Palermo in Sicily, located approximately 10 km (6,2 miles) to the east of Palermo's city centre.
The first residential areas date back to the 17th century, when the Sicilian nobles chose this territory to build their holiday estates. The multitude of noble residences in Baroque and Rococo style made the newly founded town of Bagheria known as "the city of villas".
