The "Chamber of Wonders" of Palermo, discovered by chance in 2003 under four layers of plaster in a private apartment in the historic center. Entirely painted blue in the mid-nineteenth century, it was initially identified as a mosque, given the balcony oriented towards Mecca, but different hypotheses were then made instead. Some have assumed it was just a "Turkish" room, an exotic styled room for simple decorative tastes, others hypothesize the room was used as a place for meditation and study.

.... Imagine being the unsuspecting and lucky owner of that apartment.
