Baron's Palace
Cairo, EGplace
About
Baron Empain lived in a fantastical and highly eccentric Hindu temple–inspired mansion, with the facade bedecked with elephants and serpents. Unfortunately it has been closed to the public since 1997 when ‘Satanists’ were allegedly holding rituals here; it turned out they were a bunch of upper-class teenage metalheads. Good news, though, is on the horizon. Restoration work has began on this architectural oddity, and it's planned to become a cultural centre, with the finishing date pegged for late 2019.
