If you’re a big fan of Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather series, a castle used in the third film is now up for grabs.


Situated in Sicily, the 19th-century castle has gone on sale for €6 million (US$6.9 million), featuring three connected buildings, a whopping 22 rooms, eight bathrooms, and its very own park. Plus, it comes with specially commissioned artworks.


According to ARTnews, mining mogul Baron Agostino Pennisi di Floristella hired architect Giuseppe Patricolo to design the castle, and the monument was built in 1800. It gained famed when it appeared in a scene in The Godfather trilogy sometime in the 70s.
