He put up the Villa Bethania, a comfortable Renaissance-style house he never lived in, saying he intended it as a home for retired priests.

He built the Tour Magdala, a neo-Gothic stone tower perched on the edge of the cliff, and filled it with his library.

A raised promenade connected the tower to an orangery at the other end of the garden, which is a building designed to help winter tropical fruit trees.

He stocked the grounds with a pool and exotic plants, and he reportedly kept a small menagerie complete with a large enclosure for a group of monkeys.
