If you are anything like me, the shock of Prince Rogers Nelson's death may be just starting to wear off and you may be coming around to the glum realization that it is, in fact, true and that the world has indeed lost another of its greatest musicians. How depressing to consider. However, I have found some joy in perusing old articles and photos about the villa in Marbella, Spain, Prince at one time owned with his former wife, Mayte Garcia. The villa is stunning in it's Spanish-style architecture and elegant and refined in it's interior design. It was not lost on me that "the Purple One" at one point lived in a pink palace. Take a look at the photos below.

released and the profits from which he used to purchase this estate. Photo via of Instyle.com
