13. Villa Sbertoli (Italy)
Prisons aren’t the only thing in history or even in today’s day and age that can be known as beautiful or luxurious. There have been some mental asylums that fall under the same category. Villa Sbertoli is one of them. Located in Pistoia, Italy, this mental asylum was constructed back in the 1800s to be used solely as a psychiatric hospital. During some times in history, it would be home to prisoners, but in the end, it was still used as a psychiatric hospital. The image shown above is one of many examples of the pure beauty that the mental asylum had going for it, although nowadays, most of what you can find of the asylum is mostly gone with age. However, back in it’s prime, it would have certainly been quite a site to see.
